Blue Cheese Columbine Dip

Description: A friend originally made a variation of this recipe, and I later found this version in the Colorado Collage cookbook. Definitely tastes better after a few hours.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb blue cheese, crumbled
• 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• water crackers

Steps:

1. Set blue cheese aside.
2. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl.
3. Add blue cheese.
4. Cover and let stand at room temperature 2 hours.
5. Serve on crackers.
