There are a few things that, once you make them from scratch, you can't go back to buying them pre-made. Soup is one of them and blue cheese dressing is another (actually - most salad dressings!). Whenever we go out to dinner, if a wedge salad is on the menu, that is the one I am going to order. It's one of those salads that is just so simple as to be perfect. It is just the perfect blend of creaminess, saltiness and crispness.
Making it is so simple and this homemade blue cheese dressing will keep in the refrigerator for a few days. If this is one of your favorite dressings, whip up double or triple a batch (this recipe makes enough for 4 salads) every week and never buy it again!
To make it, you will need:
For the salad:
- 1 head Iceberg Lettuce
- 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
- 1/4 lb Crispy Bacon, crumbled
- Croutons
- Crumbled Blue Cheese
For the Dressing:
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Buttermilk
- 1/4 Sour Cream
- dash Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 cup crumbled Blue Cheese
- Salt & Pepper to taste
This homemade blue cheese dressing recipe will make enough to cover 1 head of iceberg lettuce (4 servings) but, as I said, can easily keep for a few days so make a double or triple batch if you like blue cheese dressing!

My husband and I love to go to old school supper clubs where normally a side choice is a wedge salad. So we have been on a quest for the best wedge. So far a place in Chicago, Bavette's, (not an old school place) and in second place is Ishnala in Wisconsin Dells...and very traditional old school supper club venue. I'm very excited to make my own!
I agree, homemade salad dressings are way better than store bought! This looks like one to try!
Mmm ... I love a wedge salad and it's been ages since I've had one. Thanks for sharing:)
