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.

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
1/4 iceberg lettuce head
Crumbled blue cheese
Crumbled bacon, cooked crispy

- In a medium bowl, smash together 2 1/2 ounces blue cheese and buttermilk until it is the consistency of large curd cottage cheese.
- 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.
- Place lettuce on a plate "pointy" side up. Drizzle with dressing. Top with crumbled blue cheese and bacon. Die and go to heaven.

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!!

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!

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! :)
