Ingredients and substitutions
Blue cheese – I use semi-soft blue cheeses like Danish blue or Gorgonzola.
Sour cream - Use full-fat sour cream.
Instant keto mayonnaise - Homemade mayonnaise is the best; it has a lot of flavors and you know exactly what's inside. However, there're a lot of options when it comes to store-bought mayo. The healthiest mayo you can choose is one that’s made with olive or avocado oil and has no added sugars.
Fresh lemon juice - It adds some acidity and freshness to our homemade blue cheese dip.
Buttermilk, milk, or water - What I love about this recipe is that it can be used as a dip or as a dressing. Just add a splash of buttermilk until the mixture is runny enough to use as a salad dressing!
Garlic - I prefer to use fresh garlic, but you can also substitute it with garlic powder.
Parsley - As with garlic, I usually use finely chopped fresh herbs, but dry ones will also work in this recipe.
Seasoning - Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt are all that you need. Don't forget to try your dip and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Step by step directions

Optionally, add 1-2 tablespoon buttermilk, milk, or water to thin out the dip to your taste, or to make it thin enough to use as a salad dressing. Taste and add extra salt if needed.

FAQ
Store blue cheese dip in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
Freezing and thawing dips and sauces that contain dairy can result in splitting, curdling, or a bitter aftertaste if there’s buttermilk inside. Thus, it’s always better not to risk it and to whisk a fresh batch of dip or dressing from scratch. After all, it only takes 5 minutes.
