Blue cheese vinaigrette gives you a lighter version of our decadent classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/blue-cheese-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/blue-cheese-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blue cheese dressing<\/a> that still pops with flavor. You can make the vinaigrette creamy or chunky, depending on your preference.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into salad season, you&#8217;ll be happy this vinaigrette is part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-homemade-salad-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-homemade-salad-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade salad dressing recipes<\/a>. Blue cheese vinaigrette is great for jazzing up weeknight salads. It&#8217;s also a surprising player to bring to a potluck, barbecue or big game.<\/p>\n<p>Have a favorite blue cheese? This recipe can be made with something basic, but your favorite artisan cheese would shine here, too. If you&#8217;re near one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cheese-shops-in-america\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cheese-shops-in-america\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best cheese shops<\/a> in America, it would be worth trying one of the blue cheeses on their shelves.<\/p>\n<h2>What is blue cheese?<\/h2>\n<p>Blue cheese is made by adding cultures to warm milk, then aging it in a way that encourages the growth of a healthy and delicious type of mold called <em>Penicillium roqueforti<\/em>. Depending on how the cheese is aged, blue cheese can be lush and creamy, dry and crumbly or anything in between. Some blue cheeses are tangy and sharp, while others are mellow or nutty. Taste a few to figure out what you like.<\/p>\n<h2>Blue Cheese Vinaigrette Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cider vinegar:<\/strong> Made from crushed apples, the golden or brown liquid has a slightly fruity flavor. Here&#8217;s more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/when-each-type-of-vinegar-works-best\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/when-each-type-of-vinegar-works-best\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">when each type of vinegar works best<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>Used to balance out the acidic and salty flavors of the dressing, granulated sugar brings simple sweetness to the equation. You can substitute a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sugar-alternatives\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sugar-alternatives\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sugar alternative<\/a>\u00a0or leave the sweetener out entirely if that better suits your diet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue cheese: <\/strong>For extra-delicious dressing, use the highest-quality cheese you can find and afford. If your grocery store has a cheese counter, ask a cheesemonger to steer you toward a great one. A creamy or fudgy blue cheese would work nicely in this dressing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and garlic: <\/strong>Onions and garlic are cousins in the allium plant family, and both bring pungency and zing to whatever they touch (including your cutting board and fingers after you chop them!). Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">yellow or white onion<\/a> here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon mustard: <\/strong>A French-style mustard with lots of bite, Dijon is a classic ingredient in salad dressing. At home, a smooth Dijon is my go-to mustard in everything from meat marinades to creamy soups and sauces. You can even make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/dijon-mustard-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/dijon-mustard-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dijon mustard<\/a> recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"color: #333f48;\">Salt: <\/strong>Salt is the ultimate flavor enhancer, bringing this dressing together. If you have an extra-salty blue cheese (taste it to see), you could start with a little less salt and add more as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"color: #333f48;\">Canola oil: <\/strong>Made from a plant in the mustard family but neutral in taste, canola oil is a workhorse in the kitchen. If you don&#8217;t have any, consider substituting sunflower, avocado or grapeseed oil, which are also fairly neutral. You can use olive oil, but it will add more flavor to the equation.

Toss in any of your favorite produce like shaved carrots, red onion, sweet peppers, radish and cucumbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Blend the dressing<\/h3>\n<p>In a blender, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1\/2 cup blue cheese, onion, mustard, garlic and salt. Cover and process until smooth.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the oil<\/h3>\n<p>While processing, gradually add the oil in a steady stream until the dressing has thickened. If you want a chunky salad dressing, stir in the remaining blue cheese. Serve over salad.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2017465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blue-Cheese-Vinaigrette-FT24_19956_EC_071124_2.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Cheese Vinaigrette in a bowl with cucumber, carrots and broccoli on the side\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add some spice:<\/strong> Blue cheese and buffalo sauce are classic American combos, and adding hot sauce to your dressing combines them both!
