Quick Overview

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 0 minutes
• Difficulty: Easy
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 3.5 oz (100g) sweet gorgonzola, crumbled
• 2.8 oz (80g) good quality mayonnaise
• 2.8 oz (80g) full-fat Greek yoghurt
• 1-1.5 fl oz (30-45ml) whole milk (or more, for desired consistency)
• 0.5 fl oz (15ml) fresh lemon juice
• 1 small clove garlic, finely minced or pressed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 0.5 fl oz (15ml) fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Method

1. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled gorgonzola with the mayonnaise and Greek yoghurt. Whisk or fork until smooth and well-combined.
2. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, whisking vigorously until the desired sauce consistency is achieved.
3. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and minced garlic, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Taste the sauce and adjust with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed, bearing in mind that gorgonzola is already quite salty.
5. Finally, gently fold in the chopped chives, if using, just before serving or storing.

Serving & Leftovers
