If you’re looking for a new dipping sauce, you will absolutely love this one.

Similar to blue cheese dressing, but a little less tart. It’s thick, creamy, and perfect for spreading on veggies, wings, or chips. And it can be made up to several days in advance!

The Ingredients You Will Need

The ingredients in this dip are easy to find and are adaptable, too.

Mayonnaise – Homemade is great, but purchased is just fine. Plain yogurt is a decent substitution.
Crumbled gorgonzola cheese – Found in the specialty cheese section of most supermarkets. Blue cheese can be substitutes (they are similar in taste, though gorgonzola is milder).
Heavy cream – Half and half will work, too. For a thicker dip, you can substitute sour cream.
Celery – Finely chopped.
Onion – Finely chopped.
Garlic – Finely minced.
Hot pepper sauce – Such as Tabasco, Crystals, Franks, or Louisiana-Style.

How To Serve

This dip is perfect for serving next to wings of all kinds.

We also love to serve it as part of a wonderful charcuterie board.

If serving at a party, consider dividing it up in several small jars or bowls. This helps to reduce double-dipping!

EXPERT TIP: The sauce is quite thick. If you prefer a creamier sauce, simply add more cream. The sauce also makes a wonderful salad dressing, too!

There are just so many reasons to love this dipping sauce.

It’s a little milder than your standard blue cheese dressing.

It is super easy to prepare and can be made in advance. But, most of all, it is exceptionally delicious!
