Think of this like Blue Cheese dressing, only way better. 😉

This recipe is perfect. I use white wine balsamic vinegar. My favorite for dressings.
Nice! Glad you enjoyed.
Added a small amount of buttermilk to make it pour easier. A very delicious dressing.
Thanks so much!
Perfect!
Super yummy!
Great thanks!
This dressing is so delicious! It pairs well with so many different salad combinations.
Glad you enjoyed Molly!
I just made it for tonight’s salad with our salmon dinner and it tastes delicious! I had to use Trader Joe’s crumbly gorgonzola as they didn’t have crumbles, but it may just give it a creamier edge 🙂
Perfect Shirley!
