Questions about Blue or roquefort cheese salad dressing
How much blue cheese salad dressing should you put on a salad?
Start with a tablespoon per person and toss well; its creamy texture coats leaves readily, so you may need less than you expect. A tablespoon (15 g) provides 15 kcal.
How do you thin blue cheese salad dressing without losing its flavour?
Whisk in a little buttermilk, plain yoghurt or lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until it pours easily. For a dip, leave it thick and crumble in a little extra blue cheese.
What goes well with blue cheese salad dressing?
It pairs particularly well with crisp lettuce, celery, pear, apple and toasted walnuts. Use it in a wedge salad, or serve it as a dip for raw vegetables and buffalo-style cauliflower.
How should you store blue cheese salad dressing after opening?
Keep it tightly covered in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time. Follow the use-by guidance on the pack; discard it if the smell, appearance or texture changes unexpectedly.
What can you use instead of blue cheese salad dressing?
For a similar creamy tang without the blue-cheese flavour, use ranch dressing or a yoghurt dressing with lemon and herbs. For a sharper substitute, stir crumbled blue cheese into plain yoghurt with a splash of milk.
Is blue cheese salad dressing the same as ranch dressing?
No. Blue cheese dressing gets its pungent, savoury character from blue-veined cheese; ranch is usually flavoured with herbs such as dill and parsley, garlic and onion. Both are creamy dips, but their flavours are quite different.
What makes Roquefort different from other blue cheese in dressing?
Roquefort is a blue-veined cheese made from sheep’s milk and matured in caves in southern France. Its salty, tangy flavour makes a particularly bold dressing; crumble it finely so it mixes through evenly.
