Preparation

Step 1

Dressing:

Mix all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. I blend it in the Kitchen Aid on speed 3 for 3-4 minutes. It gets fluffier this way. Add fresh ground pepper.

Salad:

Wash the outside of the Iceberg and pat dry gently. Chop entire head into 3-4 wedges depending on the size. Pour on dressing. Sprinkle bacon, tomato, onions and blue cheese evenly on each wedge.
