Lighter Blue Cheese Dressing

Lighter Blue Cheese Dressing

Greg and I both love a simple wedge salad. The dressing is the star of the show on a wedge. If the dressing is not spectacular, then the salad isn’t worth eating, am I right? Who would have ever thought that an iceberg lettuce wedge topped with thick, chunky, blue cheese dressing, some crumbled bacon, and tomato could be such a delight!

In the past, I have given up flavor to go down a dress size. I like food though, and a healthy lifestyle just never lasts because I began to feel deprived. Greg and I both fall into the modern-day foodie category, and bland is not what we crave.

As I begin to discover new recipes I am also revamping some of my old favorites. One of my first recipe remakes was blue cheese dressing, and I am ecstatic with the results! It turns out that I do not have to give up my favorite dressing! Although it’s not quite as creamy as my full-fat version, the flavor is every bit as good and completely satisfying!

It thrills me to know I can have good food and try to be healthier too. Believe it or not, just by making a few changes the scales are already moving in the right direction!

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money

  1. Oh my goodness, this dressing is amazing! Both my husband and I loved it. I’ve never made homemade dressings before and this was so simple. I can’t wait to eat it again.
