My blue cheese dipping sauce recipe is the perfect thing to serve with chicken wings, vegetables, sandwiches, and more. Cool, creamy, and a must make the next time you have buffalo chicken wings.

I am one of those people that lives for a good dipping sauce especially when it comes to chicken wings. Of course a traditional ranch is great, like this copycat Wingstop ranch recipe, but lately this creamy, tangy blue cheese dip has been my go-to.
There’s something about the bold flavor of blue cheese combined with a creamy base that makes veggies, wings, even chips taste so good.
I like serving this dip for game days, snack time with chips and vegetables, or even a BBQ.
If you need some good wings to make, try this slow cooker chicken wings or baked chicken wings and if you like blue cheese, check out this easy blue cheese slaw recipe.

Ingredients
Just a few simple ingredients are needed to make this wing dip recipe.
- Blue cheese crumbles – This recipe calls for 1 cup of cheese. Feel free to adjust to your taste.

How to make blue cheese dipping sauce for wings
Step one: Place mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire, lemon juice, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Step two: Whisk to combine the ingredients. Add in blue cheese crumbles.

Step three: Stir the blue cheese into the sauce until combined. Cover and chill the dipping sauce before serving.

Recipe tips
- Let this dip chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors come together. I find the longer it sits, the better it tastes.
- Want to add a little color? Mix in some diced chives or green onions.
- This dip has a thicker consistency. If you would like to make it a blue cheese dressing, add a little buttermilk or milk to thin it out.
How to serve
Blue cheese dipping sauce is super versatile and can be used for a variety of things.
- Chicken – Try serving with chicken wings, chicken tenders, chicken sandwich, or even in a chicken wrap.
- Steak – This dip is wonderful paired with a juicy steak.
- Vegetables – Cut up raw veggies like carrots, celery sticks, cucumber, and bell peppers.
- Chips – Potato chips, corn chips, or tortilla chips.
- Crackers – This dip goes well with your favorite crackers.
- Salad – You can thin out the dip with a little buttermilk to make a dressing for a salad or wedge salad.
How to store
Store: Keep any leftover homemade blue cheese dip in an airtight container or Mason jar in the refrigerator. It will last for up to 5 days. This dip does not freeze well.
I like using a mild blue cheese like Gorgonzola. Freshly crumbled cheese is best but you can often find crumbles in a container in the the cheese section of the grocery store.
Dip and dressing are very similar, the big difference is the thickness. You can make this recipe into a dressing by adding 1-2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
