Blue Cheese Dressing can be used as a dip as well. The buttermilk can be reduced in quantity to make it thicker. Great on a crudite tray with crumbled blue cheese on top.
On the West Coast there are many cheese producers, many have at least one variety of a blue cheese. If you are a blue cheese connoisseur go on a cheese hunt and search out those dairies who are known for their blue cheeses. There are so many varieties of blue cheeses and dairies may put their own twist on them.
Enjoy!

You can use your favorite hot sauce or remove, it isn’t prominent in the dressing but more of a depth of flavor
