SALAD ASSEMBLY

Method

DRESSING

1

Make the dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth. Fold in blue cheese crumbles, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust thickness with a splash more buttermilk if needed. Chill while you prep the salad.

2

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a touch more lemon juice.

SALAD ASSEMBLY

3

Crisp the bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble into small bits.

4

Prepare the lettuce

Carefully cut the iceberg into 4 large wedges. Trim any loose outer leaves and pat dry.

5

Prep toppings

Halve cherry tomatoes and thinly slice red onion.

6

Assemble wedges

Place each lettuce wedge on a plate. Spoon or drape dressing over the wedge, then sprinkle with crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, red onion, croutons, and a light scattering of blue cheese crumbles. Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.
