All about the Ingredients that make this creamy and healthy blue cheese dressing:

Only 5 ingredients are needed in this recipe! You’ll have this ready in about 5 minutes.

Plain Greek yogurt – if possible go for the best quality yogurt. Yogurt that is Greek, organic, and comes from 100% grass-fed cows is the best! Greek yogurt contains more protein and less sugar than regular yogurt. Grass-fed dairy is better for the planet, for farmers, and for you. Grass-fed products have a higher nutritional profile which includes higher omega-3 fatty acids. A Greek yogurt that I really like is: Stonyfield Organic 100% Grassfed Greek Plain Yogurt
Blue Cheese – just like Greek yogurt, and for the same reasons mentioned above, try to use blue cheese that comes from grass-fed cows. One of my favorites is: Grass-Fed Cashel Blue Cheese
Lemon juice – this adds the delicious tanginess flavor to the dressing, it’s a great alternative to the commonly used vinegar.
Garlic powder and black pepper – not only add flavor to this recipe but the black pepper will add aesthetic with it’s black sprinkles in the white creaminess!

Tips:

To make this dressing creamy, use a hand blender or a small food processor. If you prefer this to be chunky, simply mix the ingredients with a fork until ingredients are well blended but thick and chunky in consistency.
This dressing goes great with my Healthy Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas, click here to get to that recipe.
It’s also delicious on buffalo chicken wings, salads, and it’s ideal for dipping veggies.
This dressing doesn’t last as long as the store-bought alternatives. Cover leftovers and store in fridge for 3-5 days.
