Blue Cheese Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

I'm sure I'm not the only person to have thought up this combination, but here's my version. For those of you who like exact measurement, well, I'm very sorry. I just don't cook that way. I don't even use all the same ingredients each time, it just depends on what I have on hand.

I start with half olive oil and half red wine vinegar. I do like a strong vinegar flavor, so this is stronger than most vinaigrettes, just use the proportions that you like. I think most use more oil than vinegar.

Next I add some blue cheese dressing, a couple good sized squirts from this bottle. I suspect adding actual blue cheese would be sooo much better, but I cannot get that here. I'm just going to have to try and make some someday. Then a dollop of honey, a good size squirt of dijon mustard, some salt and pepper, onion powder or chopped green onions/chives, garlic powder or minced fresh garlic. I also sometimes add some celery seed or celery salt.




This time I experimented with using honey mustard dressing instead of the dijon and honey, but that really didn't work  so I added some dijon and honey to the dressing.

 No, I don't put eggs in the dressing, that one is just sitting on the counter waiting to be put away.


Shake it up, taste it and add flavorings as needed to get it to your taste.

Yum!
