Chunky Bleu Cheese Dressing
From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
There’s nothing better then a really good chunky bleu cheese dressing.
I’m a huge fan of condiments in general and bleu cheese is my favorite!
I always said if I opened another social media account instead of Al Dente Diva I’d call myself The Condiment Queen.
Finding the right one at the grocery store can be a difficult task for me. I’m super picky about which ones I like.
Once I started making this bleu cheese dressing recipe my search for the perfect bottled one came to a stop.
This is it! This is THE one.
Sure, the pre made stuff at the store is more convenient but this dressing takes barely any effort to make.
It’s so worth it for all the extra goodness.
This homemade dressing is creamy and chunky at the same time.
It truly is the perfect blend and consistency.
It’s amazing over any salad or even used as a dipping sauce.
I know if you give this recipe a try you’ll love it just as much as I do.
Chunky Bleu Cheese dressing Tips
This recipe is very easy to make but there are two big tips I have to make sure that this dressing is at its best.
- Bleu Cheese- don’t get the bleu cheese crumbles at the grocery store. Make sure to buy the bleu cheese in a block and crumble it yourself. Ot will taste so much better and creamier that way. You can also control the size of the chunks that way.
- Marinating- this dressing is at its best when it gets to marinate in the fridge for a few hours. Try to make it at least 6 hours ahead or even better let it sit overnight. All those flavors need time to blend together.
Follow these two tips for the best results..

How long does this chunky bleu cheese stay fresh for?
If you happen to not use up all of this dressing in one sitting it can last in the fridge for about 3 weeks.
Just be sure to place it in an air tight container in the fridge and you’ll be good to go!
