Fancy Blue Cheese Dressing
This is a riff on the classic salad dressing my mom would shake up to use the leftover mayo—with just a couple upgrades. Toast the pepper to add more pungency, and fine-tune the dressing to your taste with extra dashes of Worcestershire or Tabasco. Maybe even sneak in minced anchovies or chives. (Note: You’ll likely want more salt than our nutritional guidelines permit.) Spoon over iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, radishes, avocado, smoked chicken, or this grilled wedge salad slaw.
