Even people who aren't big blue cheese fans have told
me how much they enjoy this dressing. It’s refreshing
and the flavors blend well, whether you serve it over
lettuce or baby spinach.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 to 1 cup crumbled blue cheese, divided
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup canola oil
• Torn salad greens and vegetables of your choice

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1/2 cup blue cheese, onion, mustard, garlic and salt. Cover and process until smooth. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream until dressing is thickened. Stir in the remaining blue cheese if desired. Serve over salad. Cover and refrigerate leftover dressing. Yield: 2-1/2 cups.
