Every time I make this, guests want to eat it with a spoon. It's wonderful. It will make one quart and a cup. My grandmother from Italy made this, but she used Roquefort blue cheese.Roquefort cheese is a kind of blue cheese which comes from the south of France. It is made from sheep's milk.

How To Make nonie's blue cheese dressing or dip

  • Step 1
    First Pour the buttermilk in a blender (if more than a cup you are pouring from, shake it up first)
  • Step 2
    Add the entire quart of Best Foods mayonaise
  • Step 3
    Peel and add all of the garlic on top of the mayo. If you like some garlic, only 5 cloves. If you like a lot of garlic 9 or more cloves.
  • Step 4
    Add all of the blue cheese. I love lots of it, I have never made it with less than 6 ounces, and usually add more. This was always made with Roquefort when I was growing up, Roquefort cheese is a kind of blue cheese which comes from the south of France. It is made from sheep's milk.
  • Step 5
    Lastly, add the lemon juice
  • Step 6
    Blend until all incorporated. I always just remove the mayo label and pour back into the quart jar and find another container for the remaining cup. Refrigerate. It is best after a day, and lasts quite a while. It is addicting- watch out.
