Blue Cheese Dip
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 shallots, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cup yogurt, plain Greek-style
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 3/4 cups blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced, optional for garnish
- 1 pinch paprika, optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, combine the oil, garlic, shallots and mustard powder. Sauté until the shallots are lightly browned and very tender, which will take about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream, yogurt and mayonnaise. Stir in the blue cheese. Transfer it to a serving bowl, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to cool and allow the flavors to meld together.
- When you are ready to serve the dip, sprinkle it with parsley and paprika. Both are optional. You can also just serve it as is.

Serving Suggestions:
- This dip recipe is a standard accompaniment to buffalo wings or any other wing recipe.
