Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing


I had some great blue cheese just waiting to be used in some delicious meals.  I decided to make a wedge salad with homemade blue cheese dressing.  And yes, it was fresh, crunchy, creamy and perfect.  

Let's make the dressing first.

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
2 T. milk
1 T. red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 t. cayenne pepper
1/2 - 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Stir together until fully incorporated and refrigerate until ready to use.

Now for the salad:

1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and cut into quarters
3/4 cup diced grape tomatoes
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
3 T. finely chopped red onion

Plate the lettuce quarters.  Drizzle with the blue cheese dressing.  Sprinkle with tomatoes, bacon and onion.  Grind some fresh black pepper over the top and sprinkle with additional crumbled blue cheese.
