Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the iceberg into a clean wedge and chill in the fridge while you cook the bacon, so the lettuce leaves stay crisp and cold.
2
Fry
Lay the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and rendered crisp.
3
Whisk
In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, and half the blue cheese until pourable and flecked, about one minute.
4
Plate
Set the chilled wedge on a plate, spoon dressing over, scatter tomatoes and red onion, then top with bacon shards, blue cheese, chives, and pepper.
