Steps

You’ll need: mixing bowl, fork, whisk.

  1. Whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, Worcestershire (if using), garlic powder and pepper until smooth.
  2. Fold in the blue cheese, mashing a little of it with a fork so it streaks through. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
  3. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes so the flavors blend. Set it out in a bowl over ice. Set it out for no more than 2 hours, then refrigerate it or swap in a fresh batch from the kitchen (USDA).
