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 or a wedge 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!
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 who 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 it.

Making your own salad dressings is the only way to go, right!? It's just SO much better than the store bought kind! My mother LOVES blue cheese dressing and she has been making a recipe of it I gave her a long time ago, but I'm going to have to send her this link! Your's looks JUST PERFECT!!! Cheers!
Kathy says
You are so right! It is so much better than store bought salad dressing! I love making my own!

I love making my own salad dressings! There is just something about it that is very satisfying! haha This looks wonderful! My husband loves blue cheese and would definitely love this!
Kathy says
You'd better go out and buy a huge old wheel of blue cheese!
Adina says
That sounds like me: getting 6 pounds of cheese in one go and then freezing it. 🙂 I do that with Parmesan, it is really worth it, I pay only half or so if I buy 6 pounds of it... I love blue cheese, but I don't think I have ever used it for dressing, I should definitely give this recipe a try.
Kathy says
I'm stocked up with blue cheese for quite some time now! I'll be making lots of blue cheese salad dressing.

Oh I love your blue cheese dressing. I am such a fan of blue cheese but have not used it in a dressing before. This looks like a great recipe and I cannot wait to try it!
Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!
Kathy says
If you love blue cheese, you will love it in a dressing! 🙂
Nicoletta @sugarlovespices says
Lucky your mom! It's so true about blue cheese, or you love it or you hate it. I love it!! I am not used to having any dressings in my salad other than evo oil and salt, but I'm pretty sure I'd love this blue cheese dressing!!
Kathy says
This dressing can also be used as a dip!
Mary Ann | The Beach House Kitchen says
Nice wheel of cheese Kathy! Woohoo! I love, love, love blue cheese Kathy! Pinning this one, and can't wait to try!
Kathy says
Isn't it amazing! It was like we won the lottery...in cheese! 🙂
Sues says
I love that your mom bid on a wheel of cheese and won!! I never considered freezing cheese, but totally need to try that in the future. This dressing looks so yummy!
Kathy says
Shredded parmesan cheese freezes well too.
Dawn - Girl Heart Food says
I absolutely LOVE blue cheese (and blue cheese dressing, of course). I could pretty much drink it, lol. Your recipe sounds delicious and now you have me craving blue cheese, lol 😀 P.S. Thanks for the freezing tip 😉
annie@ciaochowbambina says
That's an impressive wheel of cheese! I'm in the love-blue-cheese camp! I recently had a salad, out, with creamy blue vs. the usual Italian with crumbles of blue....and I loved it! Your recipe sounds perfect! Pinned!
David @ Spiced says
Haha! 6 pound wheel of blue cheese? That sounds like my heaven! But I totally hear ya that blue cheese is a love or hate kinda thing. I used to hate it myself, but now I love it. I didn't realize you could freeze it, though...great tip! And we often don't make our own salad dressing, either, so I'm eager to try this version. A salad is really hard to beat...especially when it's topped with a delicious dressing. Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂
