Homemade dressings are always better than anything that comes in a bottle. Who knows what’s really in those store-bought versions? This Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing and Dip is rich, tangy, and easy to make — and once you try it, you’ll never go back to the commercial stuff again. Perfect as a salad dressing, vegetable dip, or accompaniment to Roasted Herbed Chicken Wings.  It's also perfect for my Steak House Style Iceberg Wedge Salad.
