Ingredients
  • 1 shallot, minced or any allium; about 2 tablespoons
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or Champagne vinegar
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise Best Foods or other quality mayo
  • ¾ cup sour cream Straus
  • 4–6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled fine or chunky Point Reyes Original Blue
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

  1. Macerate the minced shallots in the vinegar for 10 minutes—this mellows out the shallot.

  2. Mix together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a bowl or 4-cup glass measure. Crumble in the blue cheese, add the macerated shallots and vinegar, and mix and mash using a whisk or spoon. Season with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

    This dressing will keep for a week, refrigerated.
