Instructions
1
Prep
Rinse the iceberg, trim the stem, and cut into a clean quarter wedge, keeping the leaves intact so the wedge holds its shape.
2
Heat
Grill the Canadian-style pork bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes until the edges crisp and brown, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes until rendered.
3
Whisk
In a small bowl whisk the Greek yogurt, buttermilk, lemon juice, and most of the crumbled blue cheese until loose and pourable.
4
Plate
Set the wedge on a chilled plate, scatter the halved tomatoes and sliced red onion, spoon dressing, top with bacon, remaining cheese, chopped chives, and pepper.
