Enter the fabulous Sheese, which until now? I didn't love. I actually thought it to be a total waste of money when I opted to try the Cheddar flavor from veganessentials.com. I'd since written off Sheese and hadn't thought about it again. But then I remembered they had a Blue Cheese variety and the reviews were all pointing to 'try this now!' so I splurged. The resulting dressing I came up with is not even close to low fat. In fact, this is something you don't wanna eat all the time. But if you wanna kill a craving? I highly recommend you whip this stuff up and wow all the blue cheese lovers you know by turning your salads like above into this...
Just As I Remember It But Vegan! Blue Cheeze Dressing
(this will make a ton, so cut it in half if ya like. it's what I did)
8 oz. Sheese Blue Cheese
3/4 c. Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream
1 1/3 c. Vegannaise
1 tsp. vegan Worcestershire (i used a scant tsp. i didn't wanna overpower it or turn it brown)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
splash of lemon juice
pinch of sugar
soy creamer (you won't need much)
black pepper to taste
crumble up your Sheese and add the rest of the ingredients except creamer. break out the stick blender or put all in a food processor and process til smooth and creamy, adding a splash or two of creamer til you get the consistency you want.
i'm still wanting to try out my little brother's version. His, when made vegan, will certainly be a muuuuuch lighter creation and a LOT less fattening. I know it involves soy creamer, the Sheese, lemon juice, a bit of sugar, basil, olive oil and water to thin it out. Seems simple enough. I'll get back to you on that one, for sure! enjoy!

I just gained a pound reading the recipe, but some things are worth it. It's looks like this is. Thanks for sharing it!

my dressing that was hard to give up was ranch, i would put it in mashed potatoes, my salad, sandwiches. mmm. got to try the blue cheese dressing though, thanks for the recipe!
I absolutely LOVE the blue cheeze from Sheeze. It's far far better than any other mock cheese I've had. I can only imagine how great it is in this dressing.
That looks so good! I love making blue cheese dressing with 1/2 veganaise and 1/2 plain soy yogurt (and the sheese, of course). I think it tastes just as good. Your salad makes me want to order more sheese!

This looks incredible! My boyfriend had the HARDEST time giving up blue cheese--on salads, for faux chicken wings, everything! Poor guy.
I haven't tried Sheese yet, but I think I will be now! :) You're brilliant!
