"5 stars. Easy to make, even my non-blue-eating husband liked the dip with the wings."
This dipping sauce has a wonderful fresh taste that is not present in commercial versions or blue cheese dressing. It's the perfect dip for Buffalo wings or raw vegetables like celery sticks, carrots, bell peppers, cauliflower, or green onions.
Make it 3-4 days ahead of your party. It is an easy dip to make with everyday ingredients from your local grocery store and only 5 minutes of preparation time.

How to use blue cheese dip
Use blue cheese dip, not only with baked wings, but as a general dip at parties. Try it on your next burgers on the grill, with seared and baked steak, and tortilla chips. It makes a great blue cheese salad dressing.
How to safely serve the dip
Your dip can not set out for more than two hours at room temperature. Or 1 hour if the temperature is over 90ยฐ. If you reach those limits, dump it.
To keep the dip out longer, it must be under 40ยฐ, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.
How to store blue cheese dip
You can make up the dip and cover it tightly in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Do not freeze.
FAQs
Blue cheese is made with pasteurized goat, sheep, or cow's milk. It is cultured with Penicillium Roquefort, which produces the distinctive color and flavors. It is available in blocks of cheese but the crumble version is commonly used for salads or to make sauce and dips.
