Super Easy for the Super Bowl: Blue Cheese Dip

Posted by Amanda

The other day I was asked, "What's your favorite part of the Super Bowl- the game, or the commercials?" My response- "uh, the food?"  Umpteen layer bean dips, nachos, artichoke dip, chili cheese dips, little smokies, pizza, burgers, brats, ugh.  The Super Bowl is two days away and I'm already dreading the post-bowl bulge.  So I've decided to bring a "dish" that I can eat, guilt free, and still have the satisfaction of sinful Super Bowl fare.  Deborah got me totally addicted to Buffalo Wing Pretzel Chips.  A few years ago I made Ina Garten's buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese dip and it (the blue cheese dip) was amazing!  I'm going to make the dip, slice some celery sticks, and bring a few bags of Buffalo Wing Pretzel Chips.  Totally delicious, relatively low fat/calorie, snacky, festive, and super easy!  No cooking. No mess.  YAY! 

(But just in case you want to go all out, few things are better than this Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip)

Blue Cheese Dip

1 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese (I hear Roquefort is also a good one)

1 cup good mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons milk

3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
