Notes
If you don't have a food processor you can use a handheld immersion blender instead. You can also crumble the blue cheese and then mash the sauce together with a fork.
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.
