Ingredients

Blue Cheese Dressing

  • 6 oz. crumbled blue cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

Chopped Wedge Salad

  • 8 oz. bacon, diced
  • 1 medium head iceberg lettuce
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved and then quartered
  • 1/2 cup crispy fried onions, I use Lars brand

Instructions

Blue Cheese Dressing

  • In a medium bowl, combine your sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, fresh chopped parsley, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Mix in 4 ounces of your crumbled blue cheese. You will use the remaining blue cheese crumbles to top your assembled salad.
    You can place the dressing in the fridge while you prepare the salad. The dressing will last in the fridge for one week.

Chopped Wedge Salad

  • Add your chopped bacon to a large deep skillet and cook until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add your lettuce to a large bowl and toss with some of the homemade blue cheese dressing. You can use as much as you prefer and serve the remainder at the table.
    Add the lettuce to a large platter. Top with your cooked bacon, chopped tomatoes, crispy fried onions and remaining two ounces of blue cheese crumbles. Serve immediately.

Notes

I really love the Lars Crispy Onions. This is not a sponsored post. I'm just sharing a product I enjoy. You can also use French's onions or Kinder's or whatver kind you love.
The dressing will keep in your refrigerator in an airtight container for one week.
