Blue Cheese Dressing
Blue Cheese Dressing is a creamy, tangy dressing and sauce made by combining blue cheese with a mayonnaise or cream base; it’s commonly used in American and European salads, as a dip for vegetables and wings, and as a sandwich topping. Nutritionally it is energy-dense and high in fat — it contains 51.1g of fat per 100 g — largely from dairy and added oils, and delivers the characteristic salty, umami flavor of blue cheese. Although it supplies small amounts of dairy micronutrients such as vitamin A and iodine and contains high-quality dairy protein, it is low in fiber and plant antioxidants, so using it in small amounts or choosing a lower-fat, yogurt-based version is a simple way to reduce saturated fat and calories.
