The Best Homemade Blue Cheese Dip (Creamy, Tangy, and Easy)
If you love blue cheese, this dip is for you. It’s creamy, tangy, a little bold (in the best way), and ridiculously easy to make. I’ve been making versions of this dip for years—sometimes for parties, sometimes just to keep in the fridge for snacking—and this one is my go-to.
Using Greek yogurt as the base keeps the dip light and fresh, but don’t worry it still delivers that classic blue cheese flavor. The lemon juice brightens everything up, the garlic adds depth, and the fresh herbs make it feel extra special without any extra work.
This is the kind of dip that works for everything. Serve it with crisp veggies, spoon it next to buffalo wings, buffalo chicken meatballs, spread it on sandwiches or wraps, or put it out with a bag of potato chips for dipping. It’s simple, versatile, and always a crowd-pleaser.
If you’re looking for an easy, homemade blue cheese dip that tastes way better than store-bought, this is it. Trust me, you’ll want to keep a batch in your fridge at all times.
Ingredients You Need (with Helpful Notes)
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Use full-fat or 2% for the creamiest texture and best flavor. Thick Greek yogurt is key so the dip isn’t watery.
- Blue Cheese: Choose a good-quality blue cheese you love. Crumbling it yourself gives better texture and flavor than pre-crumbled.
- Green Onion: Adds a mild onion flavor without overpowering the dip. Use both the white and green parts.
- Fresh Lemon Juice: Brightens the dip and balances the richness of the cheese.
- Fresh Parsley: Adds freshness and a pop of color. You can swap in chives if you prefer.
- Garlic: One small clove is plenty; it adds flavor without being too strong.
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper: Season to taste, keeping in mind that blue cheese is naturally salty.
Tips for Making the Best Blue Cheese Dip
- A food processor works best for controlling texture, but a small blender will also work. Pulse carefully and stop to scrape the sides so the dip doesn’t get too smooth.
- Customize it: Add extra blue cheese for a stronger flavor or a splash of milk or buttermilk if you want a thinner, drizzle-style dip.
- Let it chill: The dip tastes even better after resting in the fridge for 30–60 minutes so the flavors can meld.
- Taste before adding salt: Blue cheese can vary in saltiness and strength, so always taste first.
How to Store
Store the blue cheese dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Give it a quick stir before serving, as it may thicken slightly as it chills.
