Low-Fat Blue Cheese Salad Dressing/Dip

This dressing is excellent, you can even omit the Blue Cheese and make a great Ranch Dressing.

Low-Fat Blue Cheese Salad Dressing/Dip

INGREDIENTS:
·         ½   cup low or fat-free sour cream
·         ¼   cup low or fat-free mayonnaise
·         ¼   cup low or fat-free plain yogurt
·         1    tablespoon Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
·         ¼   cup (1 oz) crumbled blue cheese, divided

INSTRUCTIONS:
·         In a blender or food processor mix first four ingredients and half of blue cheese; stopping once or twice to scrape down sides.  Pour into container, mix in rest of blue cheese.  Cover and chill about 1 hour.

HINTS:
·         Omit the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix if desired, for a milder version.
·         Omit the blue cheese and add an extra tablespoon of the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix for a low-fat Ranch dressing/dip
·         Mix and match the low and fat-free ingredients to suit your needs or to what you have on hand…I am not a fan of fat-free mayo so I use low-fat, and the fat-free  which I feel makes a much better tasting dressing/dip
