Wedge Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

Today I give you all my most favorite side salad to order - EVER.  I dream about this salad.  It was my pregnancy craving with Otto.  It's a testament that simple food can get the job done!  I don't share this salad and I stab fingers that reach for my bacon with my fork.
You've been warned.

Wedge Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
Dressing from All Recipes

Ingredients:
2 1/2 ounces blue cheese
3 tablespoons buttermilk
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
1/4 iceberg lettuce head
Crumbled blue cheese
Crumbled bacon, cooked crispy

Directions:
  1. In a medium bowl, smash together 2 1/2 ounces blue cheese and buttermilk until it is the consistency of large curd cottage cheese.
  2. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder.  Mix until well combined.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Let dressing set for 5 minutes to let flavors marry.
  3. Place lettuce on a plate "pointy" side up.  Drizzle with dressing.  Top with crumbled blue cheese and bacon.  Die and go to heaven.

  1. I remember paying $$ for one of these on my birthday and a few weeks later I made it for dinner ... it was a HUGE hit ... I didn't do the bleu cheese dressing, but made a ranch instead. I think I need to add this to the menu for the upcoming week! Thanks for the reminder!!

  7. Yum - I love super chunky blue cheese dressing. Unfortunately I am the only one in my family that likes blue cheese so I don't eat it very often. Now I'm craving - I need a yummy blue cheese salad!

  9. I'm not a fan of blue cheese dressing but replace the blue cheese with some homemade ranch and this would be a winner in my book! Thanks for sharing on Marvelous Mondays! :)
