SKINNY BLEU CHEESE DRESSING RECIPE
Whether you’re a huge fan of chicken wings or more of a Cobb salad type, bleu cheese dressing is an American classic. We’ve done a garlic blue cheese dressing in the past, and a lot of other dressings, but nothing beats these chunks of cheese when it comes to flavor! Smooth, creamy dressings usually come with a high price – lots of calories and fat! This version replaces some of the less healthy traditional ingredients with healthy alternatives like Greek yogurt and raw honey! Don’t be alarmed when this one goes just as fast as the naughty stuff. 🙂 Whip up everything quicky in your Blendtec or Vitamix blender, but you can definitely make this with a little work by hand or in a regular blender!

Notes
HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Greek yogurt is a great alternative to mayonnaise or sour cream, depending on the recipe. It is thoroughly strained to remove the liquid whey, lactose, and sugar, giving it its thick consistency and lower-fat profile. Greek yogurt also has plenty of protein, slightly more than a traditional yogurt; a 6-ounce serving contains almost 20 grams of protein — the amount in 2 to 3 ounces of lean meat! Dairy consuming vegetarians would be well served to incorporate more Greek yogurt into their diets, as well as meat eaters.
Hi I’m new here 🙂 just wondering if you have the fat content or calorie count for this? I haven’t noticed that info on other recipes either…many thanks 🙂
Hi Gina and WELCOME! Yes, so sorry it’s not there now. We are working on adding the nutritional info for every recipe later this year. HAPPY BLENDING! ~Blender Babe Tarashaun
