Iceberg Wedge with Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 tablespoon grated white onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 medium clove)
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 medium lemon)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, white and green parts
- 2 cups good-quality blue cheese, crumbled (about 8 ounces)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped Mexican or French tarragon leaves (optional)
- 2 heads iceberg lettuce, cored and quartered
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients until combined.
- When ready to serve, set each lettuce wedge on a plate, spoon on about 1/2 cup dressing, and top with a handful of cherry tomato halves and a sprinkling of crumbled bacon.
- The dressing and the bacon crumbles can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.
- Assemble the salad shortly before serving.
- Mexican tarragon (also called mint marigold) is easily grown throughout Texas and is similar in taste to French tarragon, which literally cant take the Texas heat.
- If you dont find Mexican tarragon in the grocery store, look for the flowering plants at your local nursery.
- Little pots of these herbs also make charming party favors.
- If you are so inclined, cut the calorie and fat load by using low-fat or nonfat mayonnaise and low-fat or nonfat sour cream instead of the full-fat stuff.
