ok, so not shockingly, this post starts with a story that I was on tik tok.....and found something tasty to try. i know.
so, i was on tik tock one day and saw a video from this lady who was trying to recreate the taste of a dirty martini with chips and cheese. she took a miss vicki's salt and vinegar chip, schmeared it with blue cheese, and placed a slice of olive on top.
i was drooling. it sounded sooooo delicious i wanted to try it immediately. i have never had a dirty martini but whatever! all those sharp and salty flavors together????? mmmmm.
i mentioned it to the mister that weekend and he agreed it sounded worth trying. when we got to the store that weekend, i was thinking of more of a chip and dip than a canape-ish snack. so we bought some blue cheese, blue cheese dressing, olives and miss vickis salt and vinegar chips.
that night when it was time, we chopped up some olives, crumbled some blue cheese and stirred them and some of the olive brine into some dressing.
OMG.
it was AMAZING. stinky and creamy from the cheese and the dressing, salty from the olives and then the THWACK of vinegar and crispness from the chip. i could have eaten it all night.
we've made it twice since that night, one thicker with more blue cheese and less dressing, and then back to the looser original version for the third, which is definitely my favorite.
if you like blue cheese and olives you should definitely give this a try.
