This Creamy Cucumber Blue Cheese Salad delivers a deliciously bold twist on a beloved classic. It’s cool and crunchy with a creamy base that carries the unmistakable sharp tang of blue cheese—making it a perfect contrast to grilled meats or heavier main courses. Whether you’re prepping a summer picnic, looking for a fresh side dish, or simply craving a flavorful salad with some punch, this one is sure to hit the mark.
Crisp cucumber slices are lightly salted to release excess water and concentrate their flavor. The rich, tangy dressing—made from sour cream, mayo, and a splash of apple cider vinegar—clings to every bite. Crunchy celery adds texture, while crumbled blue cheese infuses every forkful with its signature depth.
The flavors meld beautifully after just a short chill, making it a fast and easy dish to prepare ahead. And if you’re already a fan of wedge salads or buffalo wings with blue cheese, this salad will be right up your alley.
