  • I’ve tried quite a few dairy free blue cheese dressings, and I haven’t found one I liked, but when we tried the new Follow Your Heart blue cheese crumbles, I knew they would make a delicious dressing.

How to make vegan blue cheese dressing

Mix the dressing. Combine all the ingredients (except the blue cheese) in a mixing bowl and whisk them together until smooth.

Add the cheese. Then, add the blue cheese to the dressing and use a fork to break up any larger chunks until you reach your desired consistency.

Store for later. Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or other storage container and refrigerate until you’re ready to use it. This dressing should keep for up to 1 week in the fridge.

FAQs: Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing

What is a good substitute for blue cheese in a salad?

The best substitute for blue cheese in a salad is definitely a similar cheese such as gorgonzola, but since we don’t eat dairy, I like to use vegan blue cheese or vegan feta. If you’d rather not use a vegan cheese, I would recommend a roasted, salted nut or something briny, such as capers or olives.
