Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cups Blue cheese crumbles
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 cup Grape tomatoes, halved
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the iceberg lettuce. Remove the outer leaves, slice the head into four even wedges, and set them aside on individual serving plates.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. Reserve 1-2 teaspoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet and lower the heat to medium-low.
4. To the skillet with the warm bacon drippings, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, whole milk, blue cheese crumbles, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the blue cheese begins to melt and the dressing is warm but not bubbling. Remove from heat.
5. Spoon the warm blue cheese dressing generously over each iceberg wedge.
6. Sprinkle each wedge with crumbled bacon, halved grape tomatoes, and freshly chopped chives for garnish.
7. Serve immediately while the dressing is still warm. Enjoy!
