    Sweet Savory Blue Cheese Pear Dip

    April 22, 2021 by Jurga Leave a Comment

    This Sweet Savory Blue Cheese Pear Dip is the perfect mildly sweet and savory dip to pair with veggies, fruit, bread, or use it as a salad dressing!

    I make dips all the time but this blue cheese dip recipe is one of my all time favorites. I am mad about blue cheese and always have plenty on hand, often leftover from a cheeseboard.

    This dip is delicious even if you don't like blue cheese (or also known as bleu cheese). The sweetness of the cream and the pears takes that signature tangy edge off the flavor of the cheese.

    So next time, change up your charcuterie board and serve this dip with a side of crackers or toasted crostini. Top with lightly toasted walnuts if desired.

    Also, this blue cheese pear homemade dip is the perfect addition at a picnic! Serve along with fresh veggies, fresh fruit and toasted baguettes.

    And if you add some of the drained juice from the canned pears to the dip, it is a delicious blue cheese salad dressing!
