Directions
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, sherry, and garlic salt until everything is well combined. Gently fold in the blue cheese so it’s evenly distributed but still chunky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours to let the flavors come together. Give it a little stir before serving, and enjoy!
