LongHorn Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
If you love creamy and bold salad dressings, this LongHorn Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe is for you. It is thick, rich and full of strong blue cheese flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt if needed
Instructions
Combine the Base Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, add mayonnaise and sour cream. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy. This creates the rich base for your dressing. Make sure there are no lumps before adding other ingredients.
Add the Blue Cheese
- Add crumbled blue cheese into the bowl. Use a fork to mash some pieces lightly. Leave some chunks for texture. This gives the dressing its bold and classic flavor.
Pour in Buttermilk and Lemon Juice
- Add buttermilk and fresh lemon juice to the mixture. Stir gently until combined. The buttermilk thins the dressing slightly. Lemon juice adds freshness and balances the richness.
Season the Dressing
- Sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper into the bowl. Mix well to spread the seasoning evenly. Taste the dressing carefully. Add a small pinch of salt only if needed.
Chill Before Serving
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour. Chilling helps the flavors blend beautifully. The dressing will thicken slightly as it rests. Stir gently before serving.
Notes
- Use freshly crumbled blue cheese for best taste.
- Add more buttermilk for thinner consistency.
- Stir in chopped parsley for fresh color.
- Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for depth.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for lighter version.
- Chill overnight for stronger flavor.
