Let’s make it

Step 1
Combine all ingredients except the blue cheese and whisk until smooth and homogeneous.
Step 2
Dice the blue cheese into approximately ½ inch (1 cm) cubes. Most blue cheese is crumbly, so you'll wind up with a lot of crumbs as well as larger chunks.
Step 3
Pour the mayonnaise mixture into a serving container and stir in the cubes and crumbs of cheese.
