Blue Cheese Salad Wedge

 

I first ordered a Blue Cheese Salad Wedge at Jimm's Steakhouse and I thought it was delicious.
 And I also thought, "this would be easy to prepare at home."  And it truly is.

Ingredients

¾ cup sour cream
1 small garlic clove minced
3 ounces blue cheese crumbled and divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
milk for thinning dressing
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 head iceberg lettuce
4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled

Tomatoes, chopped

Additional Blue Cheese crumbles

** For the Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing:

• To make the dressing, add sour cream, garlic, two ounces of the blue cheese, and lemon juice to a small bowl. Use a fork to combine the ingredients, smashing the blue cheese crumbles against the side of the bowl to infuse the sour cream with flavor.
• Add chives to dressing and stir to combine. Add milk a teaspoon at a time until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Season dressing to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

To Assemble Wedge Salad:

• Remove any wilted or brown leaves from the head of lettuce. 
• Cut the head in half starting from the top and slicing down through the core. Then cut each half in half again so that each wedge has ¼ of the core. Rinse each wedge and pat dry with paper towels. Carefully cut core from each keeping wedge intact and place on separate salad plates.
• Spoon desired amount of dressing over each wedge. Sprinkle each wedge with ¼ of the bacon crumbles and ¼ of the remaining blue cheese. Serve.

 

**  Use a Premium Prepared Blue Cheese Dressing such as Marzetti Brand.
