Name: Blue Cheese Dip
Yield: 8 to 10 Servings
Ingredients: Kosher salt; 1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped; 2½ teaspoons red wine vinegar; 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme; ½ pound smoked (or regular) blue cheese, crumbled; 1 cup sour cream; ⅔ cup mayonnaise; Freshly ground black pepper; Assorted fresh vegetables for dipping (such as baby carrots, green beans, and endive leaves)

Use smoked blue cheese to give this dip a subtle smokiness, though any good blue cheese will do.
