Tips and Notes
- Creaminess: For a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of milk.
- Flavor Adjustment: If you prefer a milder taste, use less blue cheese or mix in some regular cheese.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It lasts up to a week.
- Vegan Option: Substitute mayonnaise with a vegan alternative and use a plant-based blue cheese for a vegan version.
