I too added some blue cheese and also finely diced tomatoes around the edge. I also added 1 tsp. sugar to the dressing and cut the garlic down to 1 clove. Superb salad!

This happens to be my most favorite salad in all the world. And this brought it all back home, when I prepared this for lunch. I made this for one serving and this was perfect that way. I just used 1 slice of uncured bacon, and some thinly sliced red onion. The dressing went together in a snap, and all was well with the world! This certainly is a time tested recipe that has stood the test of time. Thank you for posting this, Fauve! It was perfect...:D

Fauve, we loved this! I made the buttermilk dressing the night before, then added the sauteed onion and bacon right before serving. Really delicious and lovely presentation too. Thanks!

I am a HUGE fan of salad wedges and am always searching for variations. This dressing has a nice refreshing flavor, that my DH and I really enjoyed. After trying it I decided that I just could not live without some crumbled gorgonzola, so I added some on my wedge (my husband does not do moldy cheese). Very good!
