Found it! The Wedge Recipe !


Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing
This dressing is delightful on wedges of iceberg lettuce.

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup real mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire
1 small garlic clove, pressed
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh cracked black pepper to taste
crumbled blue cheese
finely chopped fresh chives ( you may use dried if you choose)

optional but delicious additions...
grape tomatoes
spiced pecans
red onion
bacon bits

In a medium sized bowl with a fork... Blend buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, salt and pepper with a fork until smooth. Add blue cheese and mix until creamy yet slightly chunky. Stir in chives. Dressing will be thin... but delicious!

Serve wedge with dressing generously drizzled atop and sprinkle with additional crumbled bleu cheese. Sprinkle pecans, thinly sliced red onion, bacon bits to taste. Garnish with grape tomatoes and enjoy!

Time: 10 min
Servings: Makes about 1 1/4 cups
Keeps: Covered and keep chilled... recipe can be made a day in advance.

PS...Just had a brain storm that I have not tried yet.... what if you put a little dab of wasabi in the mix.... I think that might be a winner too! Try it and let me know.
