What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Graze or Gobble: Homemade Bleu Cheese Dressing! What is it about ranch dressing that practically makes you slurp it with a straw? Ever dip raw veggies in it? Of course. Did you know if you add taco seasoning to ranch dressing, it becomes a popular “Calypso Dressing” at a Mexican cantina? Try dipping tortilla chips in that sometime. Ahhh, you wondered how they did that. One of my favorite concoctions is crumbled bleu cheese. Talk about that briny earthy zing of saltiness. Oh, yum.
HOMEMADE BLEU CHESE DRESSING
Ingredients:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 packet dry Ranch dressing mix
1 cup bleu cheese crumbles
Instructions:
Combine Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth. Add packet of Ranch dressing mix. Blend well. Fold in bleu cheese crumbles. Refrigerate for one hour. Drizzle over salads, vegetables, chips, cheese sticks, French fries, pizza, or meats. Store leftovers (if any) in refrigerator for one week.
I love this dipping dressing, as I love the combination of tastes, Gail. Thank you!

I get creamy cilantro at El Pollo Loco (is that chain in your area?); I really don’t know what the restaurant served me, but it was good!

It sounds divine! I love blue cheese, but cheeses don’t like me anymore, sadly.
