Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Carefully remove the outer leaves of the petit iceberg lettuce. Rinse under cold water to clean. Pat dry with a clean towel, then cut the head into quarters, creating wedges.

Making the Dressing

  1. 2

    Blend the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth. Fold in the fresh herbs until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    On a serving platter, arrange the iceberg lettuce wedges. Drizzle generously with the buttermilk-herb dressing.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the crumbled Maytag bleu cheese, cooked and crumbled applewood smoked bacon, and sourdough breadcrumbs on top of the dressed lettuce wedges.
