Greek yogurt blue cheese recipe for salads or as a dip

If you are a blue cheese dressing lover, this recipe is a fantastic and better-for-you variation! It has all the flavor of classic blue cheese dressing, but is higher in protein and can be made lower in far by using a low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt.

It’s great with fresh iceberg lettuce in a wedge salad, tossed with baby spinach and cooked or grilled protein, or used as a thick and creamy dip for crudites. However you enjoy it, this dressing is loaded with protein, making it a great choice for lunch salads or dinners.
