Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 4 oz Blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tsp White wine vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 strips Bacon
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Chives
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Cut the iceberg lettuce into four equal wedges, removing the core. Place each wedge on its own serving plate.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese (crumbling it into smaller pieces), sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. If a thinner dressing is desired, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the preferred consistency is achieved.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the chives.
Drizzle the creamy blue cheese dressing generously over each lettuce wedge.
Top each wedge with crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
