Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper into a medium bowl.
- Use a fork or a hand mixer to combine the ingredients until the dip is mostly smooth but still has small chunks of blue cheese remaining for texture.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lemon juice for tang or pepper for spice.
- Cover the bowl and chill the blue cheese dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve cold with buffalo wings, carrot sticks, celery, or your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, reduce the mayonnaise slightly or use full-fat sour cream.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend all ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth.
- This recipe works well as a Wingstop style dip replacement.
