Ingredients

1 ½ cups extra light olive oil
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Tone’s Rosemary Garlic Seasoning Blend Or, chop ½ teaspoon dried rosemary and blend with ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon fresh garlic crushed, 2-3 cloves
½ teaspoon balsamic glaze
8.5 ounces blue cheese divided

Instructions

Combine Ingredients

Blend

Using an immersion blender combine all of the ingredients.

Add Remaining Blue Cheese

Add remaining crumbled blue cheese and stir. For best flavor, make this dressing the day before you plan to serve, but it's also delicious served right away.
Refrigerate and serve with salad greens.

Store in the Refrigerator

Store your Blue Cheese Vinaigrette in a covered container in the refrigerator. This will stay fresh for about 2 weeks. Enjoy!

Notes

This Blue Cheese Vinaigrette is terrific served fresh as soon as you make it. Toss it right away with leafy greens. But the flavors blend beautifully after a day in the fridge and the "cheesy" flavor of the blue cheese is a little more dominant. Often, olive oil can firm up in the refrigerator. Let the salad dressing sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then stir before serving. Serve this tasty salad with Chicken Spaghetti with Rotel or Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese for a great flavor combination at dinner!
