Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sugar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl for about 30 seconds until the sugar dissolves.
  2. While whisking steadily, pour in the olive oil in a thin stream over about 60 seconds until the dressing looks slightly opaque.
  3. Whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth, about 15 seconds, then fold in the crumbled blue cheese gently with a spoon to keep the chunks intact.
  4. Drizzle over salad and serve immediately.

Notes

This dressing is on the thinner side by design, so it coats greens without pooling. If you want a thicker consistency, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise. Make sure to taste before adding salt since blue cheese varies quite a bit in saltiness depending on the brand.
