Who doesn’t love a rich, creamy blue cheese dressing on a crisp bed of salad greens? Instead of buying the bottled stuff, try making your own at home!

Ingredients
- Plain yogurt: Acts as a healthier, creamy, thick base for the dressing. If you want it even thicker, or for added protein, use Greek yogurt!
- Crumbled blue cheese: Also spelled bleu cheese, it’s a soft, crumbly cheese with a sharp and salty flavor that’s the star of the show.
- Lemon juice: Thins out the dressing a bit, and adds a bright, fresh flavor.
- Garlic: Nutty, earthy, and a bit spicy that adds great flavor to the dressing.
- Horseradish: Adds a nice little kick to the dressing, but can easily be left out if you aren’t a fan.
How to Make Healthy Blue Cheese Dressing
Start your Healthy Blue Cheese Dressing by putting plain yogurt and the crumbled blue cheese in a bowl.
Then using a microplane, freshly grate your garlic clove into the bowl.
Finish with the horseradish and fresh lemon juice, and a bit of salt and pepper to taste, then whisk until creamy and smooth.
Drizzle over a salad, or serve alongside some buffalo wings, and enjoy your Healthy Blue Cheese Dressing!
