Evelyns Original Roquefort Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients except Roquefort until smooth and then stir in Roquefort and salt and pepper to taste.
• Refrigerate.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, cheese, Worcestershire and garlic powder, and process until smooth. Store in tightly covered jar in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve over tossed salad greens.

Steps:

• Mix and mash the mayonnaise and 1/3 cup of the Roquefort in a medium bowl until the cheese is very finely crumbed. Mix in the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Toss the lettuce, cucumber, eggs, carrots and tomatoes together in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining Roquefort and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the mustard, vinegar, and half the blue cheese in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking until the mixture becomes thick; gently fold in remaining blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder together in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Fold cheese into the mayonnaise mixture.

Steps:

• Using electric mixer, beat all ingredients except capers in large bowl to blend. Stir in capers. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• The night before you want to make the dressing, line a colander with a wet paper towel, stir the yogurt well, and place in the colander to drain.
• Cover with another damp paper towel, and allow to drain overnight.
• If you are a wuss, place the colander in a bowl, and let it drain in the fridge; if not, just leave it in the sink overnight.
• Yogurt just gets better when in sets at room temperature; it’s a living organism; it doesn’t like the cold any more than you do!
• The yogurt should have drained down to about 2 cups, more or less.
• If you are a purist, finely chop the scallions, parsley, white onion, and press the garlic; if not, coarsely chop them, throw them in the food processor, pulse until everything is finely chopped, scraping bowl down once, and transfer to a bowl.
• At the Magic Lamp, everything but the mayo and seasonings, went through the meat grinder, which still left a little texture.
• Combine the yogurt, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and blue cheese in a food processor, or whisk until well combined.
• Crumble the Roquefort or additional blue cheese, add to the processor, and pulse a couple more times, or finely crumble, and whisk into the mixture.
• Add seasonings, and pulse or whisk until incorporated.
• Allow to set for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop, taste, and adjust any or all seasonings to taste.
• If possible, refrigerate overnight before using.
• Note: If the dressing seems to need ‘something’ after setting, I often stir in a couple splashes of balsamic vinegar.
• This is definitely not part of the original recipe.
• Who had ever even heard of balsamic vinegar in the ‘60s?

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients except Roquefort until smooth and stir in Roquefort and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:
