Ingredients

• 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt and low-fat buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and fully blended.

Step 2

Add the crumbled blue cheese to the mixture. Using a fork, mash some of the blue cheese crumbles into the yogurt mixture to incorporate the flavors, while leaving some chunks for texture.

Step 3

Stir in the fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Step 4

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.

Step 5

If the dressing is too thick for your preference, add an extra tablespoon of buttermilk and stir until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 6

Transfer the blue cheese dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, give the dressing a good stir and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve as a salad dressing, dip for vegetables, or drizzle over your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
