Wedge Salad with Elegant Blue Cheese Dressing

Here's the salad recipe I promised yesterday:

1/2 pound crumbled blue cheese plus 1/4 lb. for garnish*
1/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup light* mayo
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (use garlic red wine vinegar if you can find it*)
1 T. EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 T.* white sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
freshly ground pepper*
1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 8 wedges
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Crumbled bacon*

Combine 1/2 lb. blue cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, mayo, vinegar, olive oil, sugar, garlic and pepper in a bowl; blend using a hand mixer; chill until serving. Build the salad by placing 1 lettuce wedge on each of 8 plates. Drizzle equal amts. of dressing over each wedge. Scatter tomatoes, onion, bacon, and reserved cheese over top. YUMOLA!!!!!!

Editor's Note to those new to my site - * denotes changes or additions I have made to the original recipe.

Enjoy this glorious day!!

Love,
