She used to use a packaged mix for blue cheese dressing (very hard to find anymore) and her own homemade yogurt (the best!). This extremely easy to make dressing beats the bottled varieties by a mile!

Ingredients:

4 oz crumbled blue cheese (1 cup)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup plain yogurt
1 package Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
Seasoning salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Mix ingredients.

Serving Suggestions:

I’ve tried making this with lite mayonnaise and have been unsuccessful (turns to soup after a day or so). If you want to give it a shot, I recommend cutting back on the vegetable oil.

In addition to complimenting a traditional salad, it is great as a cole slaw dressing.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup Grey Poupon
1/2 cup honey

Cooking Instructions:
Combine ingredients and mix well. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight.

Serving Suggestions:
This is also a GREAT cole slaw dressing. It does best, though, when mixed into the slaw just before serving.
