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.
