Cindy has made this recipe in her restaurant for more than thirty years. It came from an older chef she knew when she first started working in kitchens in the early 1970s. Sometimes simple is just better. Use a really good mayonnaise.

Ingredients

2 cups mayonnaise

½ cup buttermilk

5 ounces sour cream

5 ounces crumbled blue cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or 2 teaspoons dried parsley

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1½ teaspoons garlic salt

1 pinch (⅛ teaspoon) of ground black pepper

Place the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, blue cheese, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix until smooth.

Stored in a sealed glass jar or another container in the refrigerator, this dressing will keep for two weeks.

VARIATIONS:

• Use Maytag blue cheese.

• Use Gorgonzola cheese.

GOES WELL WITH:

• Salads

• Carrot sticks, celery sticks, or other cold veggies

• Sandwich fillings—makes a great spread
