This blue cheese dressing is easy to throw together.
It calls for half of the blue cheese to be melted in a microwave.
It is not essential but allows for the dressing to get infused with blue cheese flavor.

Notes

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