Ingredients
  • 4 oz Blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • To taste Salt and pepper

Prepare the Blue Cheese

In a medium-sized bowl, crumble the blue cheese into small pieces. Ensure there are no large chunks for a smoother dip.

Combine Ingredients

Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl with the crumbled blue cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the dip too runny. You want to maintain some texture from the blue cheese.

Season and Adjust

Taste the dip and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Remember that blue cheese is already salty, so add salt sparingly. Adjust the amount of garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce to suit your preference.

Add Fresh Herbs (Optional)

If desired, stir in the chopped fresh chives and parsley. These herbs add a fresh, vibrant flavor and visual appeal to the dip. Mix gently to incorporate them evenly.

Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the blue cheese dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Chilling also helps to thicken the dip. Serve with your favorite vegetables (carrots, celery, cucumber), crackers, potato chips, or wings. Enjoy!
