  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, place the buttermilk, lemon juice, chives, one-third of the blue cheese and the remaining oil in a blender and blend until smooth.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Use it up: 
Use any leftover buttermilk and blue cheese to make our spicy wings with blue cheese sauce.  

Switch it: If you already have some sourdough or crusty bread at home, use it instead of the ciabatta.
