Method

Place the crumbled blue cheese, minced garlic, chopped chives, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, and water into a mixing bowl.

Stir all ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.

Process the mixture in a blender if a smoother consistency is desired, or leave as is for a chunky texture.

Look for: Dressing is uniform in color with desired level of smoothness.

Chef's Notes

For the best flavor, use a good quality blue cheese with a strong, pungent aroma. Roquefort or Gorgonzola are excellent choices.
Don't over-process the dressing if you prefer a chunky texture. A few pulses in the blender are usually sufficient to incorporate ingredients without completely liquefying the cheese crumbles.
Adjust the milk or water to achieve your desired dressing consistency. Start with the listed amount and add more, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your preference.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of black pepper or a dash of Worcestershire sauce. These additions complement the blue cheese beautifully.
