This is very good blue cheese dressing! We like to mix ranch & blue cheese dressing 50:50 for the great flavor – and this comes close to that. Thank you for another good keeper recipe. It made for a quick, delicious salad with just chopped iceberg lettuce, dried cranberries and garlic & butter croutons – all the side a good steak needs!
