What is blue cheese dressing?
Blue cheese dressing is a side sauce, salad dressing, and dip popular in the US. It is typically made from a combination of blue cheese, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, sour cream, vinegar, milk, salt, and pepper.
It is usually served with buffalo wings and goes well with chicken and turkey.
Is blue cheese dressing keto-friendly?
Blue cheese dressing can be keto-friendly, even some store-bought ones. However, you should be on the lookout for and avoid those that aren't.
Some store-bought ones might contain ingredients not allowed on a keto diet. Some of these include soybean oil, sugars, canola oil, and harmful additives. Always read the label for the nutrition facts!
Ingredients Used
Here are the ingredients used to make this creamy blue cheese dressing.
- Mayonnaise: I use my delicious homemade and keto-friendly mayonnaise for this recipe. This way, I can be sure I'm not eating harmful additives or hidden carbs like in many store-bought ones. If you want, you can also get your mayonnaise from the grocery store, but remember to check the label for added sugars.
- Sour cream and heavy cream: This adds a delicious creaminess to the dressing.
- Blue cheese crumbles: This is the main ingredient in the blue cheese dressing. The unique taste of blue cheese separates it from others and makes this dressing awesome! You can find it in your local grocery store.
- Lemon juice: To further add a tangy taste to it.
- Spices: Garlic powder, salt, black pepper for taste.

Storing and Reheating
You can store this wonderfully delicious and creamy cheese dip in the refrigerator for about four to five days.
Store this easy keto blue cheese dressing recipe for longer by freezing it in an airtight container. However, I won't recommend freezing it. Keto blue cheese dressing is best served freshly made. Freezing and later thawing it might change its texture and taste.
If you choose to freeze it, put it in the fridge overnight to thaw it. Once defrosted, it's best served cold, so there's no need to reheat.
What can I eat this recipe with?
Enjoy this delectable keto salad dressing in a salad or as a delicious dip with veggies.
I like to use this blue cheese sauce recipe with some air fryer broccoli, asparagus, or buffalo cauliflower. Serve it on a wedge of iceberg lettuce accompanied by some blackened shrimps or shredded chicken breast for an easy keto lunch.
