This one is a winner. The volume of dressing is fairly small. Our family of three used almost all of the dressing on our salads. If you like to have enough to to use the dressing again, double the dressing ingredients. Like others, I sprinkled half of the blue cheese on our salads. Do note that this will make the dressing itself a little less thick. That was fine with us. It was delicious.

Since I absolutely love wedge salads, I was really looking forward to this one. The salad ingredients are fine (I, too, like many, lowered the amount of blue cheese), but I was so disappointed in the dressing. As others have mentioned, the vinegar is overpowering. I made the recipe as written so as to fairly evaluate it, but if I make it again, I will certainly reduce the vinegar. Probably easier to find a different recipe.

This is the best blue cheese dressing I have ever tasted. It is not the thick out of the bottle store dressing. It is more the consistency of a ranch dressing. This is a winner.

Years ago I made a similar salad. I placed a wedge on each of 2 plates and they looked great. I was so proud of my efforts. My husband began to eat and very soon found an angleworm lodged between the leaves. My suggestion is that the lettuce head should be soaked in salt water for some time in order to remove unwanted seasonings.

This is the best tasting dressing even with the substitutions I had to make. Can't imagine how good it would be as written. Didn't have buttermilk so used regular - substituted feta for blue cheese - substituted apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar. Really good!!!

I also add crumbled cooked bacon on top. Cut the blue cheese as well to just under half the recipe amount.

Delicious. Pretty sure the dressing recipe means 1/2 a cup of blue cheese though instead of 1/2 a pound. I used 1/4 cup and it was great. The recipe made about two cups of dressing too, so those cooking for a smaller group may want to cut it in half. Applewood smoked bacon is a must on top of this salad though!

This was so delicious that I ate it again for breakfast the next morning! I only used 1/2 lb of blue cheese and I also added crumbled cooked bacon. This is the best way to eat iceberg lettuce. Thanks for the recipe!

This was very good. I was trying to copy a wedge salad I ate a nice restaurant on a trip to Tennessee. I thought this pretty much tasted like it. I made 1/2 recipe, used all low-fat dairy, and cut the amount of blue cheese in half. Blue cheese is not only a little bit expensive, but the amount seemed excessive. I made a mock buttermilk and for the vinegar I did 1/2 red and 1/2 white wine vinegar. I was worried the dressing would turn pink. For the onions, I just chopped them, and added a sprinkle to taste. ty

Well, I wasn't a fan of iceberg lettuce until now. I only looked this recipe up to make it for my boyfriend. After tasting the dressing the night that I made it, I thought to myself that I should give iceberg another try. Since we had a half of head of lettuce left I made a salad for myself on night two. DELICIOUS! I only used an 8oz container of bleu cheese and it was great! Thanks for sharing! We will definitely make again and again!
