ROQUEFORT DRESSING

   OED has 1943.
   John Mariani, sensing that the OED is decades off, gives the recipe along with a sparse definition (without a date):

_Roquefort dressing._  A salad dressing made with Roquefort or blue cheese.

   AMERICAN COOKERY, March 1916, has "Dressing, Roquefort Salad...631."
   CAROLINE KING'S COOK BOOK (Boston, 1918) also has "Roquefort Dressing, 92."
