Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing, Greek Style

Truth: Worth keeping blue cheese anything.

Whipped and spread on a crostini, baked into a scone, as a scone for spicy buffalo wings and celery and in a dressing drizzled over a salad. Truth be told, if blue cheese is in the title there’s a good chance I will consume it.

I’ve tried other store-bought yogurt blue cheese dressings before and they aren’t my regular. So I set off to make my own. Naturally.

It all started with an idea for a salad that I wanted/needed a blue cheese dressing that was lower in fat but not lacking in flavor. So I grabbed my container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt and mixed it with a little mayo, blue cheese crumbles, low-fat buttermilk, vinegar, spices and a splash of (my not-so-secret ingredient) Worcestershire.

Voila! The dependable Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing was born. Not only is it extremely straightforward to prepare but also ridiculously flavor-packed.

Needless to say, I will be keeping this salad dressing on hand all summer.
