Blue Cheese and Chive Dip from Tyler Florence


Tyler Florence always has the best recipes!  I wish they would bring his cooking shows back to the Food Network on a regular basis . . . love his demonstrations.

I never would have thought to make a dip with blue cheese, but why not?  It is my favorite salad dressing and serve it along with one of our favorite chicken dishes, Buffalo Chicken and Roasted Potatoes.  In fact, I may serve this dip the next time I make that chicken.

This dip would make an awesome compliment to spicy hot chips like the Captain likes.  But I still don't buy the sweet potato chips with this dip . . .



INGREDIENTS


    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
    • 1-1/2 tbsp.honey
    • 1 tsp.lemon juice, or to taste
    • 1 tbsp.finely chopped chives, or to taste
    • Kosher salt
    • Pepper
    • Sweet potato chips


DIRECTIONS

Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl and mix. Season dip with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sweet potato chips.
