Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

This can be used as an all-purpose dressing or dip. Keep it on hand for special occasions or last-minute guests. Try adding chopped anchovies to a portion of the dressing and pour it over celery stalks. Or add chopped green onions and pour it over baked potatoes. Low-fat mayonnaise and fat-free sour cream dramatically reduce the calories and fat, and allow a generous amount of blue cheese.
