Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup green onion, chopped
- Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and crumbled blue cheese until well blended and creamy. This creates the rich foundation of the dip.

- If you prefer a stronger blue cheese flavor, add an extra ounce of blue cheese.
- Adjust lemon juice to taste if you want more acidity.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can also be used as a creamy dressing for salads or as a sandwich spread.
