Ingredients

For the blue cheese dressing

  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese divided
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon half and half or buttermilk
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • dash worcestershire sauce
  • dash garlic salt
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the salad

  • 1 small head of Iceberg lettuce cut into 4 wedges
  • 2 medium tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts lightly toasted
  • 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 avocado diced (optional)

Instructions

Blue cheese dressing

  • Combine half the blue cheese crumbles with rest of the ingredients. Stir to combine. Add more milk if the dressing is too thick. It should roll easily off a spoon.


  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Can be made a day ahead, if desired.

Wedge Salad

  • Place one wedge on each plate. Using the back of a spoon, coat the wedge's sides with dressing. Divide the other ingredients and arrange them on top of and around the wedge. Sprinkle with the rest of the divided blue cheese crumbles.
  • Drizzle with additional dressing as desired. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

Notes

  • Any left over blue cheese dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
