Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Remove the outer leaves of the iceberg lettuce. Cut the head into quarters, creating wedge shapes. Rinse each wedge under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes and Bacon

    Dice the tomatoes into small cubes. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat, let cool, then crumble into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    On each wedge of lettuce, top with the diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with the homemade blue cheese dressing before serving.

Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Mix Well

    Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  3. 6

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the dressing and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
