Easier French Fries
Romaine Salad with Rich and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing
Leftover White Chocolate Raspberry Bars
It has been a long couple of days shoveling snow in the bitter cold, and I was craving a nice big steakhouse meal that would come together in no time. This dressing is a favorite, and it is quick and easy to prepare. It is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors.
For the blue cheese, I buy a good wedge of Danish Blue and crumble it myself, but you can buy a quality brand of blue cheese crumbles to make the preparation quicker. I use buttermilk, but you can substitute it with whole milk. It will be thinner and milder in flavor, but it will be delicious. The real secret to this dressing is a tiny bit of garlic powder. It may not seem like much, but it really makes all of the flavors pop without an overwhelming garlic taste.
When serving over greens, make sure you use a sturdy lettuce like Romaine or a curly green leaf. Mesclun or other baby greens will be weighed down by the dressing. Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator, and it will last up to 2 weeks. Happy Sunday!
