SUBSTITUTIONS FOR LOW FAT BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
Nonfat Greek yogurt: any plain yogurt can be used in this recipe as a 1:1 substitute. You can also use plain cottage cheese, however we warn you the texture might change!
Blue Cheese: This is the main key ingredient for this recipe, we do not recommend substituting!
Fresh Lemon Juice: Store bought lemon juice is not ideal as a substitute, fresh lemon juice will not only improve the flavor, but add more Vitamin C.
Garlic Powder: Freshly minced garlic also works well
Milk: Any dairy or nondairy milk can be used in this recipe.
Low Sodium Blue Cheese Dressing: Blue cheese is naturally high in salt. There is no added salt in this recipe, but it’s not a low sodium recipe

In your substitutions you mention olive oil but I don’t see it in the recipe. Am I missing something?
