How Long Will This Blue Cheese Salad Dressing Keep?
Can you freeze blue cheese salad dressing?
This blue cheese salad dressing can be frozen but the texture will change when you thaw it out. Since it has dairy products in it, the salad dressing will change consistency after it has been frozen and then thawed. Dairy tends to separate after it freezes. The good news is that you can easily remedy the problem.
If the salad dressing doesn’t seem as creamy after you thaw it out, give it a quick blitz in the blender or use an immersion blender to get it back to a nice, creamy texture. If you do freeze this salad dressing, it can be frozen for up to six months.
Our blue cheese dressing is also wonderful on baked potatoes and Roasted Beet Salad. Also, try it as a dip with a plate of fresh sliced veggies.
