Greek Yogurt Gorgonzola Dressing and Dip

This recipe for Gorgonzola dressing and dip is just as easy to make as my other homemade salad dressings, including Hollyhock Nutritional Yeast Dressing, Everyday Honey Citrus Salad Dressing and this oh-so-delicious Sweet Peach Salad Dressing.

It's rich, creamy, and full of tangy flavour, ready to perk up a simple green salad or make the perfect dip for your favourite chicken wings!

You'll only need a handful of ingredients!

You'll find a complete list of ingredients with amounts in the recipe card below. But before we get to the full recipe, here are a few notes. You'll only need a handful of ingredients!

• Gorgonzola cheese: a pungent, soft blue cheese from Italy. Lots of flavour!
• Greek yogurt: I like to choose a full-fat variety for the creamiest dressing and dip.
• olive oil: extra virgin
• apple cider vinegar: you can substitute white wine vinegar.
• buttermilk or whole milk: add a tablespoon or two of milk helps to thin the dressing to make it pourable.
• salt and pepper to taste

Here's an overview of what you'll do to make this recipe perfectly. You'll find complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post.

You'll start by combining the olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl, then whisk in the yogurt. Once it's smooth, add Gorgonzola cheese crumbles and season with salt and pepper to taste.

You can choose to leave it slightly chunky (best for a dip) or use a food processor or a standard blender to make a smooth and creamy dressing. Add a tablespoon or two of milk to thin it to make a pourable dressing if you'd like.

If your Gorgonzola cheese is at room temperature, it will combine more easily with the other ingredients. If it's cold, it's much harder to achieve a creamy dressing.

For a thinnerdressing or to make it pourable, add milk or buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time until you've achieved the desired consistency.

A thinner consistency is best for a Gorgonzola salad dressing, while a dip for Buffalo wings is best when it's thick and chunky.

Once you make this dressing and dip recipe, you'll want to have it on everything. Here are a few ways I like to use it.

Salads: While it's traditional to serve blue cheese on a wedge salad, you can raise any simple green salad to new heights with this blue cheese dressing! It's perfect on this Tuscan Kale Salad or this Lemon Garlic Shrimp Cobb Salad. Gorgonzola and pears are a match made in heaven! This dressing tastes amazing on this Arugula Pear and Parmesan Salad when you replace the Parmesan with Gorgonzola dressing.

Wings! Blue cheese dip is a popular dip for chicken wings. You'll love this dip with these easy Old Bay Chicken Wings, Air Fryer Crispy Cajun Wings or Air Fryer Jerk Chicken Wings.

Veggies: Serve it as a dip with fresh-cut veggies. I love it with Crisp Raw Kohlrabi Sticks. Kohlrabi has a mild flavour, ideal for dipping in a zippy dip!

Burgers or Patties: Add a dollop of dip to Crispy Baked Zucchini Patties, Baked Salmon Patties, these Mushroom Black Bean Burgers, or these ever-popular Crispy Air Fryer Salmon Patties. So good!

Potato Salad: Gorgonzola salad dressing adds a rich tangy flavour to this Green Bean Potato Salad and this Broccoli Apple Salad.

To store: Store this gorgonzola dressing in a jar or covered container in the fridge. It will last for up to a week.

Avoid the store-bought dressings and make your own blue cheese dressing in a just a few minutes!
