BLUE CHEESE DRESSING — CLOSEST TO HOMEMADE®
Information updated June 2024
Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing consists of Blue Cheese, Buttermilk, Sour Cream, Mayonnaise, Lemon, Salt, Black Pepper and possibly Garlic Powder.
Unfortunately, the majority of manufactured Blue Cheese Dressings contain ingredients we would never use at home to make Blue Cheese Dressing >> they are Far From Homemade. Following is a break down of these Not In Kitchen ingredients:
SOYBEAN OIL
ADDED SUGAR
CHEMICAL PRESERVATIVES
MSG
ARTIFICIAL COLOR

KEN’S: Following is a comparison of privately-owned Ken’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing for grocery stores vs. food service; they both contain Soybean Oil as the first ingredient and are both banned at Whole Foods for two ingredients — four different ones in total — including Potassium Sorbate, Calcium Disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid, MSG and High Fructose Corn Syrup.
