1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor with half the blue cheese. Mix on medium low until blended. Very lightly stir in the last half of cheese for a crumbly, lumpy texture this classic dressing is known for. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Clemson Blue Cheese dressing is easily made egg-free with some quick modifications and is still as peppery, tangy, and delicious as ever. Try this highly flavorful and protein-rich dressing on lettuce salads, raw vegetables, sliced pears and apples, and chicken wings.
