Why you’ll love this dairy free blue cheese dressing
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.
This blue cheese dressing is just so easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. It’s just a matter of tossing a few ingredients into a bowl and mixing.
You can blending it smooth if you don’t like the pieces of blue cheese, but I think it adds a more authentic feel, especially if you’re using it as a dip.

Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions listed below are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.
- Vegan blue cheese – The best blue cheese substitute that I’ve found is by far Follow Your Heart bleu cheese crumbles. If you have a different preference, use what you like.
- Mayonnaise – To make these completely vegan, you need use a vegan mayonnaise, but since we are only going for dairy free, we used regular mayo. I’ve made it with both, and I haven’t been able to tell a difference.
- Dairy free milk – You need to use unsweetened, plain milk for this recipe or you will totally mess up the flavors of this dressing.
Frequently asked questions
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.
