This blue cheese dressing recipe is thick, creamy, tangy, and full of real blue cheese crumbles. It is the homemade salad dressing I reach for most often because it is simple to make and tastes wonderful on salads, vegetables, and chicken wings.

Dressing with blue cheese crumbled on top in a clear glass pitcher with two salads in the background

There is so much to love about a good homemade blue cheese dressing. This version has a rich, creamy base, a pleasant tang from buttermilk and white wine vinegar, and plenty of blue cheese pieces throughout. It is thick enough to feel hearty, but still smooth enough to pour over a crisp salad.

If you enjoy bold, savory dressings, this easy blue cheese dressing is a great recipe to keep in your kitchen rotation. It works beautifully as a classic salad dressing, especially on a Cobb salad, but it is also delicious served as a dip with fresh vegetables or alongside chicken wings. The texture is one of the best parts: creamy, chunky, and full of flavor in every spoonful.

Growing up, Italian dressing was often on the table, but once I started choosing my own dressings, blue cheese quickly became a favorite. Eventually, I decided to make it from scratch, and homemade has been my first choice ever since. The flavor is fresher, the texture is better, and you can decide exactly how chunky or smooth you want it to be.
