A perfect classic (although I ended up adding more cheese!)

I made it with reduced fat milk, crumbled blue cheese and 2% milk instead of buttermilk. It wasn't as creamy, but as a lower fat version it worked!

been doing this for awhile but use sour cream instead of yogurt or just leave it out as I don't always have it. Just delishous.

Excellent salad. I added crumbled pancetta for an extra pop.
This also works well with quartered roumaine lettuce.
