- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled, divided
- ½ cup mayonnaise

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the strips are deep golden brown and crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool, then crumble into rough pieces.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth. Fold in half of the crumbled blue cheese, mashing some of it lightly with a fork so the dressing is creamy with visible chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
