Notes
If you don't have a food processor you can use a handheld immersion blender. You can also crumble the blue cheese and then mash the sauce together with a fork.
Start with half the salt, taste test, and then add more as needed.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best taste.
The sauce will thicken in the fridge, so the consistency after chilling is thicker than that just after mixing it together.
For a thinner sauce (for example, for a dressing), add a dash of milk.
For a thickersauce (for example, for a dip), use less sour cream
For a chunkier sauce, crumble the blue cheese and mash it all together with a fork instead of making it in the food processor.
Make ahead: This sauce tastes even better 1-2 days after it's made, so go ahead and make it in advance.
Storing leftovers: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
