What is Blue Cheese?
Now, you might have tasted a plethora of cheeses, but probably, you have heard about blue cheese for the first time, right? When I saw and tasted it for the first time, even I was surprised. Nevertheless, it tastes scrumptious.
Blue Cheese is characterised by the growth of blue mould and veining in air spaces inside the cheese, which gives it quite a distinctive and full flavour.
For the cheese to turn blue, oxygen must be inserted into the cheese through thin needles or skewers. The blue mold then matures inside the air tunnels, developing flavour as it ages.
Blue cheese is thought to have been invented by accident when a drunken cheese maker left behind a half-eaten loaf of bread in a moist cheese cave. When he returned back, he discovered that the mold covering the bread had transformed the cheese into a blue cheese.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing Ingredients
To make Blue Cheese Salad Dressing, you will need some good quality Blue Cheese. I used Danish Blue Cheese but any type with work just fine.
For the base, I have used buttermilk and greek Yogurt. You can also add mayonnaise or Sour Cream to your dressing.
Since I didn’t had buttermilk at hand, I mixed milk with some lemon juice and my buttermilk was ready. In case you don’t want to spend on an entire carton of buttermilk, this trick works just fine.
Can you Freeze Blue Cheese Dressing?
Dairy products do not freeze very well. When you thaw them, their texture changes. So I would not recommend freezing this dressing.
Can you eat Blue Cheese Salad Dressing during pregnancy?
If the cheese is made using pasteurised milk, then it is absolutely safe to eat. However, do check with your doctor once before consuming it.
