Mom’s Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
1/2 cup safflower oil or extra-virgin olive oil
4 oz. crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp. garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Minced fresh tarragon or basil (optional)
(If desired, just before serving, remove amount of dressing you think you'll be using and add 1 Tblsp. of minced fresh tarragon or basil. If you add herbs to entire mixture and then store, herbs loose their fresh taste and get mushy.)
To make dressing, combine oil and blue cheese in small bowl. Using fork, mash about 1/2 of the blue cheese into oil. Stir in vinegar, garlic salt and ground black pepper. Taste and add more oil or vinegar or garlic salt, as needed.
