Blue cheese dressing

6 ounces cream cheese

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

3/4 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons milk

1-1/2 ounces blue cheese

In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, and salt and pepper. Mix in lemon juice and milk, stirring until smooth.

Crumble blue cheese into mixture, and fold into mix, without breaking up chunks. Place the dressing in a storage container and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Note: True Roquefort cheese comes from the village of Roquefort, in southwestern France. A creamy, pungent, strong-­flavored sheep's milk cheese, it is aged in Roquefort's limestone caves to develop its flavor.
