An old glass jar filled with blue cheese dressing and crumbled blue cheese in front of the jar.

Homemade blue cheese salad dressing with chunks of blue cheese. Delicious and easy to make, this dressing is perfect for adding to green salads or using as a dip for freshly cut veggies or buffalo wings.

Blue Cheese Salad dressing is one of my favorites. I'll be totally honest, I don't always make my own salad dressing. I tend to keep an assortment of different dressings in my fridge. It's really a matter of convenience - and providing everyone's favorite dressing.

Making salad dressing isn't hard. I am making an effort to make dressing more often and buy less prepared dressing. This blue cheese dressing is perfect with this Cobb Salad.

A few months ago we attended a local fundraiser auction for a youth sports team. My mom bid on a wheel of locally made blue cheese. We were so excited when she won the bid!

A large block of blue cheese.

I don't think any of us really realized how much cheese is in a 6 pound wheel of cheese. That's a whole lot of blue cheese especially since when using blue cheese, a little goes a long way.

We sliced up the wheel, packaged it in smaller 4 ounce portions and vacuum sealed each portion into freezer safe bags. We quickly discovered that my siblings and their families either love blue cheese or hate it.  I love it! More for me!!!

Those of us that love it took several packages home with us. I put one package in the fridge and froze the rest. When I need more blue cheese, I'll just pull a package out of the freezer, let it thaw and then use.
