Snack: Blue Cheese Dip

Recipe by Sarah Dickerman Use smoked blue cheese to give this dip a subtle smokiness, though any good blue cheese will do.

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 pound smoked (or regular) blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
Freshly ground black pepper
Assorted fresh vegetables for dipping (such as baby carrots, green beans, and endive leaves)

Instructions

Sprinkle salt over garlic and chop, occasionally smearing mixture with blade of knife, until paste forms. Whisk garlic paste, vinegar, and thyme in a medium bowl. Add cheese; mash with the back of a fork until cheese is finely crumbled. Stir in sour cream and mayonnaise. Season dip to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with assorted vegetables. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
