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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Slice the iceberg lettuce into quarters, creating 4 wedges. Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves if necessary.

Step 4

Prepare the toppings: Halve the cherry tomatoes, crumble the cooked bacon, thinly slice the red onion, and finely chop the chives.

Step 5

Place each lettuce wedge on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the blue cheese dressing.

Step 6

Sprinkle the tomato halves, crumbled bacon, red onion slices, and chopped chives over the wedges.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, flavorful salad!
