- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 head iceberg lettuce (cut into 8 wedges)
- 2 ripe tomatoes (diced)
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 1 pound)
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Steps
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the head of lettuce. Keep the core intact and slice the lettuce into quarters with a large knife. The core should hold the wedge together.
Run cold water through the wedges, if it's a really tight head of lettuce, separate a little bit as needed so the water can get through. Shake a few times to dry and drain in a strainer while preparing the other ingredients.
Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl; blend using a hand mixer. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Chill until ready to serve.
Build the salad by placing 1 lettuce wedge on each plate. Drizzle equal amounts of dressing over each wedge of lettuce.
Scatter tomatoes, bacon, and blue cheese over each salad, and garnish with fresh parsley.
