This dip is popular because it delivers a lot of flavor with very little effort. Blue cheese is tangy. The dates add sweetness, the walnuts add a little crunch, and the sour cream brings everything together in a sweet way. Try it as a spread on pork or chicken sandwiches.
Get ahead: You can enjoy the dip immediately, but it tastes even better if you let it sit in the fridge for a day.
storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Stir before eating.
