Author Notes

The Test Kitchen has been engaged in a fierce debate recently over which creamy, mayo-based dressing reigns supreme: Is it Blue Cheese, or is it Ranch? It should be obvious already that I’m team Blue Cheese. This recipe is my go-to when it comes to iceberg-based salads and, of course, buffalo wings. I prefer a rich, mild blue cheese like Danish Blue or Gorgonzola and always try to crumble it myself. I also call for a little buttermilk which helps to loosen the consistency and add a subtle tang. This should last up to a week in the fridge.
