Blue cheese and tarragon dip/dressing


Blue cheese and tarragon dip/dressing

This recipe can either be used as a dip, leaving out the yogurt, if you want to eat your veggies in chunks, or as a dressing for salad.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Blue cheese — I use Point Reyes Blue because it's local
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried (the golden 1 to 3 ratio of dried to fresh for most herbs)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (microwave for 30 seconds on high to melt from solid)
  • 1 tablespoon nonfat Greek style yogurt (more liquid than some other styles)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Mash everything except yogurt together in a bowl with a fork. 
  2. Mix in the yogurt if you are making a dressing. 
  3. Season to taste and enjoy.
