Great recipe. Keeps well in the fridge, and only improves. As a former cook in a wing place, I can tell you this: Don't try to sneak in low fat mayo or sour cream. (I've tried) Find another recipe that calls for them. A small dash each of wostershire, tabasco, fresh lemon juice, and a small crushed clove of garlic will really brighten up the flavor. I also add about 50% more cheese than called for and leave it in bigger chunks. Definately let it sit for a day or two before serving. That makes all the diffrence.

I've been looking for a creamy blue cheese dip ever since I ordered chips and dip from room service at a five star hotel in New Orleans and received ruffles and a homemade blue cheese dip. Believe it or not it was a great combination with a simple potato chip and a tangy dip. This recipe emulates that dip perfectly. I have to admit I'm not a big fan of mayonaise but I used the exact amount in the recipe and it made it nice and creamy.
We held a 'taste test' with this and a recipe from another site. This one was by far the winner! The only change we made was to sub a quarter cup of fresh parsley for the two tablespoons dried. Aging for a few days really does improve the flavor if you can make yourself stay away from it long enough! My husband the blue cheese fanatic was in heaven when he tasted this. Thank you for a perfect recipe!
So good! Made this for a Thanksgiving appetizer buffet two years in a row & have been ordered to make it again next year! Definitely use high quality bleu cheese makes a dramatic difference in flavour. I used reduced fat sour cream but full fat mayo had a wonderful creamy texture. Also I highly recommend making it at least a day in advance to allow the flavours to meld. We liked this best w/veggies (cherry tomatoes red bell pepper and celery in particular).
FANTASTIC dip if you like blue cheese! Definitely let it sit overnight if time allows. I used finely chopped red onions (to taste) instead of green and it still tasted great. Add a little milk and you'll have great salad dressing!
Great recipe. Be aware that it makes a lot so you may want to halve it. Also you can control the level of blue cheese in the dip by just adding more or less of it. I added more than the recipe called for and it gave the dip a richer blue cheese taste; it did taste perfectly fine before the addition though. Fantastic will definitely make this again.
Delicious!!! I added 1/2 tsp. cayenne just to spice it up a bit.
Update: I have made this dip almost every holiday for my FIL Father's Day also of course! This recipe has become one of my 'go to' recipes. This time I modified a bit. Couldn't get to the store so I used 1/2 a bottle of blue cheese dressing in lieu of the chucks and I didn't add the mayo. Turned out really good! Original review: I love blue cheese and so does my FIL. I made this for him for tomorrow for an appetizer. I tasted-tested it and I thought it was really good! I am serving with blue corn chips. Did not add the green onions subbed a pinch of onion pwdr. Sprinkled with garlic bread seasoning instead of garlic salt.
This dip is excellent! I had to make it twice in one weekend because it was so popular. Was great with wings. Makes a great thick salad dressing too. Thanks for this recipe!
Taste was good but I used this recipe because it sounded thick and chunky. It was at first but after a few hours in the fridge it turned completely watery. Very disappointing especially since I doubled the amount of bleu cheese chunks called for in the recipe.
