Ingredients
- 1 large iceberg lettuce, cut into fourths to make wedges
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 5 bacon strips
The Dressing
- 1/3 cup sherry vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, or 2 small, finely minced
- 1/2 heaping cup crumbled blue cheese
- salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon. In a hot pan on medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy throughout (3-4 minutes per side). After the bacon is cooked, place on a paper towel and let the oil dry off. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil and sherry vinegar, then stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, minced garlic, fresh chives, and a healthy pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Make the wedge. Then serve each wedge of iceberg lettuce with cherry tomatoes, bacon bits, and blue cheese dressing drizzled over top.
