I do remember having a bite of my fathers steak (so good!) and my salad which was smothered in freshly made, creamy blue cheese salad dressing. The salad itself was unremarkable as I remember, just Iceberg lettuce with perhaps a tomato and the delightful fresh cracked black pepper the waiter applied on the top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What has haunted me all these years since, is the limited re-occurrences of that amazing dressing. It's not that I haven't enjoyed many great salad dressings over the years, it's just that I have had way to many inferior bottled versions from the grocery store as substitutes. Very few ever delivered the euphoria of my first blue cheese dressing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"Grilling Romaine Lettuce\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4246 alignnone\" title=\"Grilled Romaine Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing\" alt=\"Grilled Romaine Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop.jpg\" width=\"484\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop.jpg 484w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop-148x130.jpg 148w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop-38x33.jpg 38w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2656-640x480_crop-244x215.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Promoting this whole episode was the Romaine lettuce I had just purchased the day before, the &#8220;What the heck were we going to eat for dinner tonight,&#8221; combination of frustration and desire. It was hot, close to 100 degrees and I was not going to spend the afternoon grilling &#8211; nope, no way! So I decide a little grilled romaine and some saut\u00e9ed bell peppers would do the\u00a0 nicely for dinner, quick and easy with a few slices of garlic toast to accompany the salad. Checking what else we could have with the salad, I discovered a couple of tomatoes, perfect! Then with a quick glance to the salad dressings&#8230; None!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I was in trouble! A vinaigrette would be an easy fix, not quite what I was craving for, so looking around a bit more I discovered some beautiful blue-veined, crumbly, smelly and perfect Blue Cheese I was saving for who knows what. &#8220;Can I make Blue Cheese dressing?&#8221; I mumble in my head.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"Grilled Romaine Lettuce\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4248 alignnone\" title=\"Grilled Romaine Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing\" alt=\"Grilled Romaine Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480-148x98.jpg 148w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480-38x25.jpg 38w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_2660-640x480-322x215.jpg 322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A quick look for Blue Cheese dressings recipes online revealed some great recipes, but they almost all universally required &#8220;Buttermilk&#8221;, not something I keep on hand ever, or sour cream. Still not willing to go back to the store, I kept looking for a recipe that fit my kitchen stock (i.e. no buttermilk, no sour cream) and came across an easy recipe on About.com calling for just a few ingredients that I had in stock!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So why am I ranting so much about Blue Cheese dressing? After I doctored the recipe just a bit to make it fit my kitchen stock, we dinned on the best grilled Romaine salad I have eaten in a long time. Yes, It's probably because I made the blue cheese dressing myself for the first time but there is no reason not to pat myself on the back at least every other day, right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was really, really good and reminded me of that old blue cheese dressing I had savored for so long in my memory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is my doctored recipe and I will say that two days later it tasted even better!<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<table class=\"ERHDTable\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"item ERName\"><span class=\"fn\">Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Recipe Type: <span class=\"tag\">Salad Dressing<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Gary House<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <span class=\"preptime\">5 mins<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <span class=\"duration\">5 mins<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">6<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary\"><span class=\"summary\">This recipe is from http:\/\/culinaryarts.about.com\/od\/saladdressings\/r\/bluecheese.htm I modified it slightly based on what I had at home.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup mayonnaise<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tbsp white wine vinegar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 lb blue cheese crumbled<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 tsp garlic powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tsp fresh ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 tsp kosher salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 &#8211; 1\/2 cup half & half<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Combine the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, blue cheese, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a bowl.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Slowly stir in half & half to thin as desired.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Taste, if needed add additional salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Chill for 1 hour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">2.2.8<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grilled Romaine Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing Fresh homemade Blue Cheese salad dressing from as little as 8 ingredients to top off a grilled Romaine salad, smokey, robust and refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.
