Longhorn Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe Tips

  • Use quality blue cheese – it makes a big difference in flavor.
  • Adjust thickness – add more buttermilk for a thinner dressing or less for thicker dip consistency.
  • Let it rest – chilling allows the flavors to develop fully.
  • Mash blue cheese slightly – if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Store properly – keep in an airtight container in the fridge.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Keep the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving as it may thicken.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as freezing can change the texture and cause separation.
  • Reheating: Serve cold. Avoid heating, as it will alter the texture and flavor.
