Well-Dressed - Blue Cheese - KilKenney Kitchen

Happy summer! The solstice on June 21st is one of my favorite days of the year. I love the long lingering light and the easy transition to a new season; particularly as evidenced by this fabulous find at the Minneapolis Midtown Farmer’s Market.

These beautiful greens just beg to be washed, dried and tossed into a well-dressed salad. I’m a huge fan of homemade salad dressings like this creamy Blue Cheese Dressing. Making them is quick, easy, delicious and, of course, gluten free. I will share a variety of dressings and vinaigrettes with you throughout the summer, so you will always have some great choices at the ready.

I’d love to hear what dressings you would like to make too – I’d be happy to create a recipe for one of your favorites.

Blue Cheese Dressing

This tangy, rich and delicious dressing is perfect on a green salad, with buffalo wings or slathered on a burger. You'll be happy to have a jar of this on hand all summer.
