A delicious Classic Wedge Salad is covered in a tasty blue cheese dressing, crunchy bacon, and fresh tomatoes.
Ingredients :
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
Directions :
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.
