For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Sour cream
- 1-2 tablespoons Buttermilk Optional, for a thinner dressing
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the bacon in a pan until crispy, then drain and set aside.
- Cut the iceberg lettuce into chunky wedges.

Notes
For a healthier alternative, use turkey bacon, low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream, and reduce the blue cheese. Store lettuce wedges uncut in the fridge and dress just before serving to maintain crispness.
