Morton's Blue Cheese Dressing

AshK's Note:

From the legendary Morton's Steak House. Simply amazing Blue Cheese Dressing. As much as I love to lighten things, this just isn't the same using light ingredients. This calls for Durkee's Famous Sauce, if you can't locate Durkee's, I have another recipe for a similar sauce called Mustard-Mayonnaise Sauce. Cook time includes overnight chilling.

• Total Time: 24 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 24 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 15

Yield: 4.0 cups

• 2 cups mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Durkee's sauce (sold in the condiment aisle or with the dressings)
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 7 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 1.5 C)
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream.
2. Add the buttermilk, Durkee sauce, and seasoned salt.
3. Whisk until well mixed.
4. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and whisk again.
5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blue cheese.
6. Transfer to a storage container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least a day and up to four days.

I made 1/4 of a recipe because I am the only one in the family that eats bc dressing. Loved it! I am glad no one else eats it!! Thanks for posting.

This really is an excellent blue cheese dressing. I agree that it makes more than the stated number of servings, but it's so good you just want to heap it on your salad.

Icelanders usually eat salads undressed which I do not enjoy & blue cheese dressing is the only dressing DH truly likes. I often make a dressing for myself, but tagged this yesterday knowing we were having a soup & salad dinner tonite. I went to my kitchen & made a half recipe in min to allow for overnite refrigeration. An immediate taste test seemed to show the mayo as the main flavor, but I just tasted it again at 20 hrs of the chill time. The passage of time dims memories, but right now I cannot recall having had a better blue cheese dressing! This is yummy beyond words, now rich w/the blue cheese flavor & I esp like the chunky texture vs those whizzed to a liquid. My only issue w/this recipe is the yield. The volume of ingredients is 4.8 cups & my half recipe supports this. If you assume 1/3 cup per serving (a lrg amt by any std), this recipe serves 15 blue cheese lovers very generously & the nutritional data will be more realistic when available. All that said, I cannot bring myself to give this recipe any less than 5* since it deserves that & more. Thx for sharing this keeper recipe w/us.
