BUTTERMILK BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing image

This is an excellent dressing for wedge salads, and for ones of grilled romaine. I love it drizzled over a pile of really, really ripe tomatoes. It's a great dip for spicy chicken wings. And it is also good with steak. The amounts listed below are merely starting points. Adjust them as you like, to achieve the flavors you like.

Sprinkle the cheese into a medium-size bowl, and mash with a whisk.
