1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
¾ cup crumbled blue cheese (about 3 oz)
Festive Fall Salad:

1 apple, washed, cored, quartered, and sliced
2 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 tablespoons roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds (or any seed or nut you like)
Instructions
For the dressing, whisk together all ingredients (except blue cheese) until smooth; stir in blue cheese and refrigerate until serving.

Notes
Yogurt Substitution in the Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing: You can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt for a thicker, dip-like consistency.
Storage: Store the dressing in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days.
