The thing about blue cheese is that it evokes an extreme reaction in most people. Either you really love it, or it’s not even something you can gag down.

For those of us who fall into the “yuuuum, blue cheese” camp, I have the perfect dressing for you.

I’m a firm believer that all other ingredients (other than blue cheese) in this type of dressing are there to do one of two things:

  1. Make it creamy, or
  2. Subtly pull out the flavor of blue cheese.

It’s kind-of like using vanilla in baking. Everyone says the flavor of vanilla shouldn’t be detected in the final baked good, but it should smell faintly of vanilla and the other flavors should stand out a little more because of it.

Similarly, every ingredient in Blue Cheese Dressing should marry perfectly with the flavor of blue cheese without overpowering the end result.

Keto Blue Cheese Dressing with Description

Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe

In this recipe, mayo and heavy cream are there just for the creamy dressing factor. The other stuff – apple cider vinegar, Frank’s hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder – are included to enhance the flavor of the blue cheese.

And if you’re thinking about using a different hot sauce than Frank’s, do what you must, but as a Buffalonian, I can in no way get behind that, lol!

How to Make Blue Cheese Dressing From Scratch

This Keto Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe is very easy to make and it comes together fast! Simply stir together all ingredients.

Pro Tip: If you like your Blue Cheese Dressing on the chunky side with large pieces of blue cheese, first stir together all other ingredients until smooth and then fold in the crumbled blue cheese.

How Long Does Blue Cheese Dressing Last in the Fridge?

Stored covered in the fridge, this homemade Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe will last 5 to 7 days in the fridge.

What Makes This a Keto Blue Cheese Dressing?

The ingredients in this dressing are naturally low in carbs! Each 2-tablespoon serving only has 1g carbohydrates, making this Blue Cheese Dressing a great choice if you’re following a keto diet.

What to Eat with Blue Cheese Dressing

Blue cheese is a natural pairing with a lot of different fruits, such as pear, apple, and cranberries.

It also goes well with many different nuts, such as hazelnuts, walnuts, and pecans.

Additionally, dried fruit is also a good combination with blue cheese.

And because I’m from Buffalo, I have to mention that Blue Cheese Dressing is perfect with Buffalo wings!

    I wanted to make blue cheese dressing but didn’t have sour creme. I found your recipe and it saved me a trip of going to the store. I’m impressed! I love this recipe and there is room to season it the way I wanted. I didn’t any Frank’s, but I used a Peri-Peri sauce and added a bit more. I also withheld the salt. This will now be my go-to blue cheese dressing from now on. It’s a hit around here. Thanks!

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. 😱🙈😅

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). 💗

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet 🍓🫐🍒, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
