Steps

  1. 1
    Use a firm, strongly flavoured blue — Roquefort, Stilton or Danish blue. A mild creamy one disappears entirely.
  2. 2
    Mash about two thirds of the cheese with the vinegar and a splash of the buttermilk into a rough paste. This is what gives the dressing its blue-cheese body.
  3. 3
    Whisk in the soured cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
  4. 4
    Thin with the remaining buttermilk to the consistency you want — thicker for dipping, looser for dressing leaves.
  5. 5
    Add the Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic and a generous amount of black pepper.
  6. 6
    Fold in the remaining crumbled cheese and the chives at the end so there are still distinct lumps.
  7. 7
    Chill 2 hours before serving; it thickens and the flavour deepens. Add salt only after chilling, as the cheese is already salty.
