Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, and minced garlic until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.
Fold in the crumbled blue cheese and stir to incorporate. For a smoother texture, blend using a food processor or immersion blender.
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the vinaigrette if desired.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or stir well before each use.

Notes

Use apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar for a fruitier flavor.

Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.

Try Roquefort for a stronger blue cheese flavor.

Adjust sweetness by increasing honey or maple syrup.

Stir in fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon for added brightness.
