Ingredients you will need
- Blue cheese: Crumbles of blue cheese are added for texture and that distinct tangy flavor that is so delicious.
- Sour cream: Sour cream adds creaminess and a touch of tang to balance out the richness. Greek yogurt makes a great substitute.
- Mayonnaise: Along with the sour cream, mayo binds the ingredients together, creating a smooth consistency.

How to make it
Step 1: Add the blue cheese, mayo, sour cream and seasonings to a medium bowl.
Step 2: Stir the blue cheese with the other ingredients to fully combine.
Step 3: Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and chives or sliced green onions, if desired. Serve with chips, veggies, wings or whatever else sounds good.
My Pro Tip
Recipe Tip
- Dried garlic: Fresh garlic is very flavorful, but for this dip I actually recommend dried garlic powder because it will combine nicely with the creamy base for delicious flavor throughout.
- Double the recipe: This recipe makes 12 servings, and can easily be doubled if you’ll be serving a crowd.
- Make it a dressing: To make this into a salad dressing, simply whisk in milk or buttermilk until you’ve reached desired consistency. It’s actually so delicious as a dressing!
- Garnish: It’s optional, but for texture and an elegant presentation, I like to garnish this with extra blue cheese crumbles and either chives or sliced green onions.
Frequently asked questions
Blue cheese dip typically contains crumbled blue cheese, various seasonings and sometimes herbs with a creamy base of sour cream and mayo.
Since this dip contains dairy, it shouldn’t be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. If it sits out for up to 2 hours, I recommend covering it and placing it back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before enjoying it again.
If stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge, the dip will stay fresh for up to about 4 days. Give it a good stir, if it has been sitting very long and enjoy again.

Blue cheese dip pairs well with a variety of different foods! It’s great with fresh vegetables, like carrot sticks, celery, bell pepper strips, radishes, and cucumber slices.
