Tips from the Skinnytaste community
- Too thick? Many readers recommend sparse it with water, milk and even Italian seasoning. Letting it sit in the refrigerator also helps the texture.
- Too rich? If the vinegar or lemon is too big, reduce the amount slightly or add mayonnaise or sour cream to soften it.
- Fans without yogurt: Several readers swap some Greek yogurt for sour cream to soften the “yogurt” soup without losing the cream.
- Valid loading: Onion powder, garlic powder, fresh herbs, and even a touch of buttermilk powder add depth.
- Make it bigger: Some noted that they added extra blue cheese after cooling to enhance the texture.
- Storage Tips: Most readers think the next day tastes even better and thickens in the refrigerator – perfect preparation.
Correct storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator 5 days. Stir before serving.

Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe FAQ
Blue cheese and ranch are thick cream salad dressings, but they are seasoned differently. The ranch does not contain cheese and gets its signature flavor from hay such as dill and parsley. The main flavor of blue cheese is obviously blue cheese.
Blue cheese dressing is a great low-carb choice. 2 tablespoons servings have 3.5 grams of carbohydrates.
The dressing for blue cheese may be watered in the refrigerator, but this is normal. Stir before serving and add more blue cheese if necessary to thicken it.
If you have the opposite problem and your dressing is too thick, thin it with water or buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time until it is pourable consistency.
