Simple Blue Cheese Dip

This totally fun, chunky, chewy easy bleu/blue cheese dip recipe is the perfect addition to celery, hamburgers, carrots, flax crackers, celeriac chips, for dipping wings, you name it! I put some of this recipe out with veggies today for kids home on Spring break and the dip is disappearing at a rapid rate.
If there’s just too much blue cheese goodness for you, be sure to reduce the amount of cheese a little bit. There’s no shame in that. Also:

• If you don’t have white wine vinegar, you can sub any other vinegar (balsamic is not Atkins induction friendly, however).
• This recipe is induction friendly if you limit dip to less than 1/4 of the recipe, since sour cream is fine, but in limited quantities.
• If you’re watching fat in addition to glycemic load, try a lower-fat sour cream.
• You can use a clove of fresh garlic if you have some. I use powder here since it’s easiest.
• Want bacon? Of course, you do! Optional information is included for adding 3 strips chopped, cooked bacon to the dip.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup blue cheese
3 strips cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
