Blue cheese and spring onion dressing

Name: Blue cheese and spring onion dressing
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 4

Side Serves 4 5 min

This is just a guide recipe; you could omit the mayonnaise, substitute crème fraîche for the soured cream, and adjust the quantities of lemon juice and mustard. Just make sure you use a strong, gutsy blue cheese such as Stilton or Gorgonzola. It's best with Little Gem lettuce cut into wedges rather than peppery salad leaves whose flavour might get a bit swamped.

Ingredients

100g blue cheese, crumbled
1 tsp lemon juice
150ml soured cream
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 or 3 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
crisp lettuce such as Little Gem or Cos

Method

Prep time: 5 min

Step 1
To make the dressing, blend all of the ingredients except the spring onions until smooth. Alternatively you could just mix together the liquid ingredients and add the cheese, if you'd rather have a dressing with some texture. Next, season and add the spring onions.
Step 2
Cut the lettuce into wedges, and spoon over the dressing.
