It’s no secret I love Blue Cheese. I recently bought some soft pretzels and I wanted to try something different than mustard to dip them in. I experimented a bit and came up with this creamy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce.
Like most sauce recipes, this one is very versatile and customizable. I like mine a little on the chunky side, but you can make it a little creamier by adding more milk and/or blending it to make it silky smooth.
This dipping sauce recipe is on the thicker side if you make it as is, but if you prefer a creamier version, don’t worry! Depending on the blue cheese you use, you can use a fork and mash the chunks of blue cheese or put everything in a blender and process until you reach the desired consistency.
Not all pretzels come salted so keep that into consideration when adding salt to this recipe. Since the blue cheese is already salty, you may want to omit the salt. I suggest you do a taste test before adding the salt.
Recipe Tips
- Let the sauce sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. This will allow all the flavors to meld. You can use it immediately, but the longer you let it sit in the refrigerator, the more flavorful it will be.
Recipe FAQ’s
You can use an equal amount of apple cider vinegar if you prefer.
Of course! You can use it with Chicken Wings, French Fries, Veggies, or even put some on a Burger!
