Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and dry one pint of cherry tomatoes, leaving the stems attached for easy handling.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash half of the crumbled blue cheese with one-quarter cup of mayonnaise until the mixture is almost smooth.
  3. Gradually mix in the remaining mayonnaise and one-quarter cup of buttermilk until the sauce is creamy and well-combined.
  4. Gently stir in the remaining crumbled blue cheese and all but one tablespoon of the minced chives.
  5. Cover the sauce and set aside; you can prepare this up to one day in advance by refrigerating it tightly covered.
  6. Spoon the finished blue cheese sauce into a small serving bowl.
  7. Garnish the top of the sauce with the reserved tablespoon of minced chives.
  8. Place the bowl of dip in the center of a large platter.
  9. Arrange the fresh cherry tomatoes around the bowl to create an attractive presentation.
  10. Serve immediately, allowing guests to dip the tomatoes into the sauce.
