About


Most buttermilk blue cheese recipes call for mayonnaise and/or sour cream, but buttermilk is so creamy the added fat isn't necessary. Try on your favorite salad or as a dip for crudite. Also delicious with finely minced fresh herbs added, such as chives.

I would leave out the oil completely.  The mashed blue cheese will make this creamy enough and you really don't need the extra fat.  Mustard will bind the dressing too.
