Steps:
- Trim the core even with the bottom of the lettuce and cut the lettuce into quarters through the core. If the quarters look too big for a single serving, either cut them in half or trim them to whatever size you feel is a good serving.
- Combine the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, and chives in a bowl until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To serve, set the wedge of iceberg in the center of a salad plate, add cucumber, and spoon the dressing over and dash it with a good pinch of chives.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest Bibb lettuce you can find, with crisp, tightly packed leaves.
- Wash the lettuce thoroughly and pat it dry before assembling the wedges.
- For a more flavorful dressing, use freshly chopped herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When assembling the lettuce wedges, be sure to place them on a platter or plate that will catch any drips from the dressing.
- Serve the lettuce wedges immediately, while the dressing is still fresh and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Bibb lettuce wedges with De-Light-Ful Ranch dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. The crisp lettuce leaves are complemented perfectly by the creamy, tangy dressing, and the bacon and crumbled blue cheese add a touch of richness and flavor.
