Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients for the dressing together in a medium bowl and set aside (it's best to do this at least a couple of hours in advance and refrigerate to let the flavors marry together).
- Arrange the iceberg lettuce on a large platter.
- Top the lettuce with the blue cheese dressing. The dressing is thick, so try your best to evenly distribute it across the surface.
- Top with tomatoes, bacon, green onion, and blue cheese crumbles.
Notes
- This salad can be assembled 2 hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve- no longer than that, as the lettuce may get soggy.
- You can make the blue cheese dressing up to a week in advance.
- For a creamier blue cheese dressing, microwave the blue cheese crumbles for 10-15 seconds, then use a food processor or blender to mix all of the ingredients together, as this will break the crumbles down.
- I recommend serving with oven BBQ chicken or blackened tilapia to make this a full meal.
