Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing

Gorgonzola dressing is super easy to make and it is light, creamy and really delicious! Gorgonzola cheese is more mild than blue cheese and it adds a lot of flavor and creaminess to this dressing.

The recipe for this Gorgonzola dressing is my riff on one of the dressings a restaurant near my home (Flower Child) serves with their salads. To make it, just add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until its smooth and creamy. Refrigerate before serving. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week

Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing Recipe

• Extra-virgin olive oil. You could use avocado oil if you prefer.
• Vinegar. We use champagne vinegar, but white wine vinegar will work fine too.
• Lemon juice. Use fresh squeezed.
• Cheese. Use a good Gorgonzola cheese which is a mild Italian blue cheese.
• Garlic. Adds a nice pop of flavor.
• Season. Season with freshly cracked black pepper.

How To Make Gorgonzola Dressing

1. Blend ingredients. Add the ingredients to a blender or NutriBullet and blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Chill. Refrigerate the dressing up to an hour before serving so the flavors have a chance to blend together.
3. Store. Put the dressing in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

What Is Gorgonzola Cheese?

Can I use Blue Cheese Instead?

Blue cheese is saltier, has a more intense flavor and is less creamy than Gorgonzola. It is probably better used in a mayo based dressing like the classic blue cheese salad dressing. This gorgonzola dressing is lighter and has a mild flavor making it perfect for people who don’t like the robust flavor of blue cheese.
