Blue Cheese Dressing

Description: I love blue cheese dressings and this one from the Seattle Times is very good. The cayenne adds an extra punch. I like my blue cheese dressing chunky, so I didn't bother blending this in the food processor.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Mash blue cheese with some of the mayonnaise until well blended.
2. Transfer to a food processor or blender.
3. Add remaining mayonnaise with sour cream, milk, lemon juice, mustard, cayenne, garlic powder and pepper.
4. Blend until smooth.
5. Transfer to a bowl or jar, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
