Blue cheese dressing
Blue Cheese Dressing
Blue cheese dressing (pronunciation: /bluː tʃiːz drɛsɪŋ/) is a popular type of salad dressing that is made primarily from blue cheese, mayonnaise, and other ingredients such as vinegar, milk, and spices.
Etymology
The term "blue cheese dressing" is derived from its main ingredient, blue cheese. The term "blue cheese" itself comes from the characteristic blue or blue-green veins of mold present in the cheese, which is typically made from cow's, sheep's, or goat's milk. The term "dressing" refers to a sauce used to add flavor to salads.
Ingredients
The primary ingredient in blue cheese dressing is blue cheese, a type of cheese that has been inoculated with cultures of the mold Penicillium, resulting in spots or veins of the mold throughout the cheese, giving it its characteristic blue color. Other ingredients typically include mayonnaise, vinegar, milk, and spices such as garlic and onion.
Usage
Blue cheese dressing is commonly used as a dressing for salads, particularly wedge salads. It is also frequently used as a dip for buffalo wings and vegetables. In addition, it can be used as a sauce for steaks and other meats.
