It may be old-fashioned, but I love a good wedge salad. With its crisp, cool lettuce and tangy, creamy dressing, the iceberg and blue cheese combination is incredibly comforting. While good bottled blue cheese dressings exist, there's nothing like the thick, rich homemade variation.
It's not only delicious in the wedge salad, but it's great on spinach salads, tasty as a dip with carrots or buffalo wings, and scrumptious slathered as a spread on steak sandwiches. To learn how to make this simple yet rewarding dressing, read more.

I had been craving my grandma's thick and creamy blue-cheese dressing and made some this past weekend. Though it is considerably more simple...it's my favorite dip!
1Forgot to say it, but this recipe looks tasty. I'll definitely try it out.
2Bring back the good old days of Iceberg only lettuce. No weeds on the table. Nothing like a tasty wedge salad.
3This has got me craving buffalo wings! Very similar to my recipe, only instead of buttermilk, I use sour cream, and for the lemon juice, I opt for balsamic vinegar.
4oooh! never made my own blue cheese dressing. sounds delish.
5I'm not wild about blue cheese dressing on salad or sandwiches, but I'm a die hard wing fan.
6We recently started making our own dressing! Our current fave is green goddess (Ina) - it is SOOO yummy that even I want to eat salad!
