Ingredients

¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon buttermilk
3 Tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon Course ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup blue cheese crumbled
½ teaspoon chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

In a medium bowl combine all ingredients, except the blue cheese and chives - sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper
Blend together until smooth this makes a creamy base
Add in the crumbled blue cheese and stir until you have a thicker consistency
Chill until ready to serve and top with chopped chives or parsley

Notes

Be sure to use freshly squeezed lemon juice in this recipe - it makes all the difference in the world. Bottled lemon juice has additives in it that make it taste a little 'off'.
You can add additional lemon juice to the recipe - only if you want a stronger more tangy flavor.
You can also use Italian parsley for garnish.
Want to make Blue Cheese Salad Dressing instead? Just add 2-4 more tablespoons of buttermilk until you achieve your preferred dressing consistency
