The Pistachio Salad Dressing is definitely on my list of things to do again. First test spoonful was awesome.

How would the dressing taste, if I would use gorgonzola or roquefort instead of the cream cheese? Stay healthy

It's a quick recipe. Give it a small amounts test evaluation. There's nothing to cook, just mix things together.

I think it would work very well - the mineral almost metallic tang of blue cheese with sweet pistachio. Its giving me ideas!

I chose Cream Cheese because it is subtle and struck me as not masking, but still, supporting the soft flavor of Pistachio. The amount of Pistachio I used was tailored to allow it to have an impact. It's also why I chose the subtlety of Cucumber for more liquidity.
