Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2–3 tablespoons buttermilk, plus more as needed to adjust thickness
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Instructions
- Whisk the sour cream and mayonnaise in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Whisk in 2–3 tablespoons buttermilk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a tiny pinch of grated garlic.
- Add the crumbled blue cheese, mashing some into the dressing while leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the chopped chives or parsley, then season with salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
- Adjust thickness by whisking in additional buttermilk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Let the dressing rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve.
Notes
For a thicker dip, use less buttermilk; for a pourable dressing, add more buttermilk. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for 5–7 days and stir before using; it may thicken as it chills, so whisk in a splash of buttermilk to loosen. Do not freeze. If you prefer extra chunkiness, fold in additional blue cheese at the end. The recipe is gluten-free as written; confirm Worcestershire is gluten-free if needed.
