Ingredients

• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 8 cherry tomatoes
• 4 bacon slices
• 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce head and wash thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Cut the head of lettuce into four equal wedges, removing any tough cores if necessary. Place each wedge on a serving plate.

Step 3

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in halves. Set aside for later use.

Step 4

In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 5

To prepare the dressing, in a mixing bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Step 6

Stir the blue cheese crumbles into the dressing mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh chives and stir half into the dressing, reserving the other half for garnish.

Step 8

Drizzle the blue cheese dressing generously over each lettuce wedge.

Step 9

Top the salad wedges with the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled bacon.

Step 10

Garnish each wedge with the remaining chopped chives.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing low-carb classic wedge salad.
