Makes about 3 1/2 cups
1 cup buttermilk, divided
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
8 ounces Buttermilk Blue Cheese
1. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk, mayonnaise, mascarpone, cream, lemon juice, salt, Worcestershire, garlic, Tabasco and dijon mustard to the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse the processor on/off until the mixture is well blended.
2. Break the buttermilk blue cheese into small pieces and add to the buttermilk mixture. Pulse the processor on/off until the dressing is just blended and pieces of cheese are still visible in the dressing.
3. Empty the dressing into a storage container. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of buttermilk to the dressing. Stir until blended. Cover the dressing and refrigerate until chilled. Serve or keep in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add heavy cream or buttermilk unto the desired consistency is achieved.
