Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons White wine vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the blue cheese dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, buttermilk, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
2. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
3. Wash the iceberg lettuce and remove any damaged outer leaves. Use a sharp knife to cut the lettuce head into four equal wedges through the core to keep each wedge intact.
4. Arrange each lettuce wedge on individual serving plates.
5. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing generously over the top of each wedge, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
6. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives over the top of each wedge for garnish.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, creamy salad.
