Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, buttermilk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop into smaller pieces.

    Prepare the Wedge Salad

    Cut the iceberg lettuce head into quarters. Place each quarter on a serving plate. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing, then top with chopped bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped chives.
