Tasty Tuesdays: Wedge Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

.

Welcome to Tasty Tuesdays!

.

I love a good wedge salad.  This was the first time I've made blue cheese dressing and I have to say I see no reason to ever buy it in a bottle again.  This just tasted so much better!

.

.

I searched online and found this recipe for the dressing. I changed a few things like using fresh garlic instead of powder and the amount of blue cheese.

.

Ingredients for Dressing:

- 3 ounces blue cheese or blue cheese crumbles

- 3 tablespoons buttermilk

- 3 tablespoons sour cream

- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

- 1/4 teaspoon sugar

- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

- salt and freshly ground black pepper

.

.

In a small bowl, mash blue cheese and buttermilk together with a fork until mixture resembles large-curd cottage cheese. Stir in sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and garlic until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

.

{ Recipe yields (6) 2 tablespoon servings.  Whole milk may be used in place of buttermilk for a milder flavor. Dressing may be refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to two weeks. }

.

Ingredients for Salad:

- 1 head of iceberg lettuce

- 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

- 1 tomato, chopped

.

.

Cut lettuce into wedges.  One head will be enough for 4 - 6 nice size salads.

.

Top lettuce with tomatoes and bacon.  Spoon dressing over top and top with additional blue cheese crumbles, if desired.

.
