Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 4 oz Blue cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tbsp Chives
Instructions
Prepare the dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Crumble the blue cheese and gently fold it into the dressing mixture. For a chunkier texture, leave the crumbles larger; for a smoother dressing, mash the cheese with the back of a spoon. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Slice the iceberg lettuce into quarters, creating 4 wedges. Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves if necessary.
Prepare the toppings: Halve the cherry tomatoes, crumble the cooked bacon, thinly slice the red onion, and finely chop the chives.
Place each lettuce wedge on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the blue cheese dressing.
Sprinkle the tomato halves, crumbled bacon, red onion slices, and chopped chives over the wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, flavorful salad!
