This Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing is made with 5 ingredients, and is packed with protein, plenty of blue cheese, and is ultra creamy without the guilt! showmetheyummy.com #greekyogurt #bluecheesedressingIt’s been awhile since I’ve made my Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing and I was seriously craving it the other day. I pulled out the ingredients to make it, when I saw leftover blue cheese hanging out in my cheese drawer.

A light bulb when off, and I thought why not make a new salad dressing recipe for the blog and call it: Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing.

While I DO love my homemade greek yogurt ranch dressing, this homemade blue cheese dressing is giving it a run for its money.

If you love blue cheese, and blue cheese salad dressing in particular, you’re gonna love this healthier greek yogurt version!

This Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing is packed with protein, plenty of blue cheese, and is ultra creamy without all the guilt!

A healthier blue cheese dressing for my salads?

Ummmm yes.

This Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing is made with 5 ingredients, and is packed with protein, plenty of blue cheese, and is ultra creamy without the guilt! showmetheyummy.com #greekyogurt #bluecheesedressingI feel like blue cheese is one of those you either love it, or you hate it foods.

I personally l.o.v.e. it and so does Trevor. For us, the stinkier the better. One of our favorite snacks is a cheese board with crackers and plenty of blue cheese.

Blue cheese is also one of my very favorite salad ingredients. It just adds the perfect amount of creaminess and tang to really liven up a salad. Yes? Yes.

I decided to completely nix the mayo and base this blue cheese salad dressing off of my favorite greek yogurt ranch dressing and letmetellyou, you’re gonna love it!

Now, before we get into how to make this, let me tell you right now that no, it isn’t QUITE as creamy as your traditional blue cheese dressing. Why? Because we’re not using mayo and we’re not packing it with an insane amount of blue cheese.

While it might not be quite as creamy, I promise it is PLENTY creamy and still completely, perfectly blue cheesy.

Honestly, I think it’s better. 🙂

The best part? It’s SO quick and easy to make. Simply place crumbled blue cheese, buttermilk, greek yogurt, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a medium sized bowl and stir to combine!

This Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing couldn’t be easier or packed with more flavor! It makes about 1 and 1/4 cups, so you’ll be set for a week!

Oh. And I should mention, in the directions 👇, I suggest 1/2 cup – 1 cup of crumbled blue cheese. I like using 1 cup, but some people may not want the dressing to be that blue cheesy.

h.o.w.e.v.e.r.

I think it’s perfect with 1 cup of blue cheese and even with an entire cup, it’s only about 60 calories per serving!

Heck. Yes.

This Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing is made with 5 ingredients, and is packed with protein, plenty of blue cheese, and is ultra creamy without the guilt! showmetheyummy.com #greekyogurt #bluecheesedressingDrizzle this blue cheese dressing over a wedge of ice burg lettuce and sprinkle on some tomatoes, pecans, maybe some bacon, and a little extra blue cheese, and you’ve got yourself an AMAZING lunch or the perfect side dish to your dinner.

    • Hi Sherly! Sure! I’d start with a little and gradually add to taste. Let me know how it turns out with the paste! 🙂

  12. What is a serving? I saw that it was said to be 60 Cal (or so) per serving. Is this two tblspoons? I need it for tracking my nutrition! Thank you, I made it and it turned out incredible!

  13. I tried this with Vanilla Greek Yogurt, Garlic, Cayenne, Dry Mustard, 2 slices of blue cheese(leftover from burgers), lemon buttermilk homemade on a grilled peach wedge…..definitely a different day, I may have over spiced mine but it was fun to try.

    • Interesting! I would’ve never thought to use vanilla greek yogurt! I always use plain, as it’s a blank canvas for all the yummy spices 🙂

  14. I found your recipe following a search for a mayo and oil free blue cheese dressing and was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. I omitted the garlic and used white wine vinegar ~ Tasty and light. Your Healthy Coleslaw recipe is up next. Thanks!

  15. Delicious!! I’ve been missing blue cheese dressing and now I don’t have to! Love the tangy flavor of this dressing.

  16. Calorie count is way wrong. Blue cheese 1/4 cup is 100 calories. So how can you say 62 calories in all not to mention buttermilk and non fat yougurt.
