How to Prepare Blue Cheese Salad
To begin, mix the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl, making sure to integrate both ingredients well to form the base of the dressing.
Incorporate the dry mustard, oregano, and freshly ground black pepper, which will add a special touch of flavor and aroma to the mixture.
Crumble the blue cheese and mix it carefully with the dressing, allowing it to distribute evenly and melt slightly to enhance its texture and flavor.
Add the garlic oil and lemon juice, then whisk everything together with the dressing to achieve a perfect balance between creaminess and freshness.
Finally, pour a suitable amount of the dressing over the fresh spinach leaves and serve immediately to preserve the vegetable's crunchy texture.
