Who makes the best blue cheese dip for buffalo chicken wings?”
The Super Bowl only comes around once a year, and you’ve otherwise been doing really well sticking to your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier, so why not go a little crazy and make a killer blue cheese dip for your Super Bowl party? The key, of course, is choosing the right blue cheese. Zoe, the affable affineur at New York’s Murray’s Cheese, helped me narrow down the selection to a few great contenders. I tested three very different blues with the same base, and it may be surprising but your choice of cheese really does matter. Whatever blue you choose, you can’t really go wrong with a dish that combines cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Your doctor might disagree, but your friends will back you up. This dip is perfect with hot wings, crudités or chips, or even as a dressing on an iceberg-based salad. And it’s really easy to make too. Here’s the recipe for The Ultimate Super Bowl Blue Cheese Dip, adapted from Saveur, Issue #31.
