INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 6 ounces cream cheese

- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 ounces blue cheese

In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, and salt and pepper. Mix in lemon juice and milk, stirring until smooth. Crumble blue cheese into mixture, and fold into mix, without breaking up chunks.
*A Note about Roquefort Cheese:True Roquefort cheese comes from the village of Roquefort, in southwestern France. A creamy, pungent, strong-flavored sheep's milk cheese, it is aged in Roquefort's limestone caves. The name 'Roquefort' is protected by law, which prevents cheese makers in other places from calling their blue cheese 'Roquefort' cheese (much like sparkling wine from, say, California cannot be called 'Champagne'). If you cannot find authentic Roquefort cheese, other blue cheeses will also work well in this dressing, including Gorgonzola, Stilton, and Danablu.
