Step 1
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.

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.
Step 4
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.
Step 6
Garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and color.
Step 7
Serve immediately while the salad is crisp and fresh.
