ZESTY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

2 oz. blue cheese, crumbled (2/3 cup)
1/4 cup mild vegetable oil, such as canola or safflower
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 Tblsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1 to 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

Place all ingredients in a food processor. Process, using short pulses, until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed but there are still some lumps of blue cheese.
