I wrote recently about my favorite homemade ranch dressing, what I make when I’m in the mood for salad dressing that I can ‘see’. Now I have a another option.
It was ranch that I had in mind when I looked in the refrigerator. I didn’t have parsley, but I did have basil, chives and a lovely little block of Italian gorgonzola. What I discovered is that gorgonzola gets along famously with basil. Who knew?
We’re on our third batch and have used this to dress green salads, as a twist on Niçoise and even as a dip for raw vegetables.
When you make this dressing, which will take you exactly 4 minutes, I recommend saving the lion’s share of the gorgonzola for the very end. Toss it into the blender and pulse a few times. This way you’ll have tiny gorgonzola chunks throughout your dressing.

This dressing sounds DREAMY CREAMY wonderful!
As a gorgonzola lover I was there even before you told me that it was a 4 minute item! 😀
