Low FODMAP blue cheese dip
Gluten free, low FODMAP
Ingredients
- 250g (1 cup)* full fat lactose free sour cream (see notes)
- 125g (1/2 cup)* mayonnaise without any high FODMAP ingredients (see notes)
- 100-200 g blue cheese (depending on the strength of the cheese, see notes)
- 1-2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or lemon juice, to your tastes
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup, to your tastes (optional but balances everything out)
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon dijon mustard without onion or garlic (optional, but creates some depth of flavour)
- Salt and pepper, to your tastes
Instructions
- Start this dip the day before to allow all the flavours to meld and the blue cheese flavour to permeate.
- Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl, then crumble in the blue cheese in small pieces.
- Stir to combine then add the seasonings to taste. If in doubt, pop the dip in the fridge for a few hours and then come back to add the seasoning. The blue cheese flavour should have more depth at this point, making it easier to tell what tastes need adjusting.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container and use within a few days. I haven't frozen this dip and there are mixed reviews online as to whether freezing dip is advisable (the texture changes).
Notes
- Making the dip a day before is the absolute best way to get the most flavour out of it.
- Read the body of the post or my lactose free sour cream recipe in regards to making your own lactose free full fat sour cream.
- If you prefer a thin, runnier dip, you can use light lactose free sour cream. it might thicken a little in the fridge, but it won't thicken to the same extent as full fat sour cream.
- Choose a mayonnaise without any high FODMAP ingredients or make your own. I have a recipe here.
- Add the blue cheese according to the strength of the brand you have chosen and your preferences. You can use less of a very sharp blue cheese and still get a very bold blue cheese flavour, for example. If you use a very mild blue cheese, you can add more.
- Keep in mind that you can always reserve some blue cheese and add it the next day if you feel the dip needs it.
