Ingredients:
1/2 pound blue cheese, crumbled |
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon hot sauce |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
2 large heads iceberg lettuce, cored, washed, and patted dry |
1/2 medium red onion, thinly shaved lengthwise, for garnish |
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked crisp, drained, and crumbled, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Combine the blue cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and black pepper in a medium-size mixing bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the mixture together to form a thick paste. Drizzle in the olive oil, stirring continuously with the fork until the mixture is creamy. Add the buttermilk and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Cut the heads of lettuce into 4 wedges. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the dressing over each wedge. Garnish with the shaved onion and crumbled bacon and serve immediately.
