Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 ounces blue cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • pinch sea salt and ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water more or less to achieve the desired consistency

Instructions

  • Combine the olive oil, vinegar, onion powder, and blue cheese in a bullet blender or mini food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper. If the dressing is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • Store leftover dressing in a small jar for up to three days.

Notes

If you prefer a non-creamy dressing, blend all of the ingredients EXCEPT for the blue cheese. Crumble the cheese in by hand, or add it to the blender and just pulse once or twice to break it up.
This dressing is best served immediately but you can store it in the refrigerator in a jar for up to 3 days. If it separates, shake the jar, whisk, or blend it.
