Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press to ensure the pieces are very small.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, sour cream, mayonnaise, and mustard.
- Whisk these ingredients together until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk, ensuring the mixture emulsifies.
- Add the vinegar and lemon juice to the dressing mixture, and whisk until well combined.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Mix in the finely chopped chives.
- Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce.
- Cut the head of lettuce into quarters to form wedges. Each wedge should be approximately 1 cup of lettuce.
- Place each lettuce wedge on a serving plate.
- Generously spoon the blue cheese dressing over the top of each wedge, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
- If desired, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over each wedge for added flavor and texture.
- Serve the iceberg wedges immediately. This salad pairs well with grilled meats or can be a refreshing standalone starter.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients.: Fresh garlic, chives, and lemon juice will enhance the flavors of the dressing.
- Chill the dressing.: Prepare the dressing ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste.
- Cut the lettuce just before serving.: To maintain the crispness and prevent the lettuce from wilting, cut the iceberg lettuce into wedges right before serving.
- Adjust the dressing consistency.: If you prefer a thinner dressing, you can add a little bit of milk or buttermilk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Add extra toppings.: For extra flavor and texture, you can sprinkle crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, or additional blue cheese on top of the salad.
