Tips For Success:

You can purchase a container of already crumbled blue cheese, but a wedge of blue cheese is the better choice. Blue cheese is easy to crumble, so I always reach for my favorite wedge in the specialty cheese section. Pre-crumbled blue cheese may be a dryer product.
Let this dressing sit in the refrigerator for an hour or so before serving. A quick rest will allow those flavors to marry.
