Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 unit Red onion
- 0.25 cup Vegan bacon bits
- 0.5 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the head of iceberg lettuce and carefully cut it into quarters, creating four wedges. Rinse each wedge under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside for garnishing the salad later.
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by combining crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed and slightly creamy.
Place each iceberg wedge on a serving plate. Drizzle the prepared blue cheese dressing generously over each wedge.
Top each wedge with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, and a sprinkle of vegan bacon bits.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately while the salad is crisp and fresh.
