A Classic Stinky Cheese Salad Dressing
The recipe below is a classic and easy to prepare at home. It calls for using Roquefort cheese, hence the name, but you may substitute any Bleu Cheese available like Danish Bleu or one of the new American Blue Cheeses.
Roquefort is a stinky cheese and if you like strong, stinky cheeses, I urge you to try it on it’s own. It’s a sheep’s milk cheese from France that goes back centuries and may be the most complex cheese you will ever try.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Combine all the ingredients except for the cheese in a bowl and whisk them until smooth. Crumble in the blue cheese and mix together gently if you like clumps of cheeses in your dressing or more aggressively if you like it more smooth.
If you want it really smooth, you may want to combine everything in a blender but I think you lose the mouth feel when you lose the texture from the chunks of blue cheese.
Taste and adjust seasonings with a little salt & pepper.
