This is a simple and fantastic retro-diner salad that is based on a recipe from the January 2003 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Another rare recipe that my picky DH actually likes! I often serve this to compliment one of his BBQ's, and sometimes add tomato wedges, especially if I have some that are garden fresh.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In medium bowl, whisk together mayo, 1/2 cup of the blue cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, and vinegar until nearly smooth.
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Season with black pepper.
  4. 4
    (Dressing can be made 1 week ahead and stored in refrigerator).
  5. 5
    Arrange lettuce wedges on 8 plates.
  6. 6
    Spoon dressing over wedges.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle with green onions and season with additional black pepper.

Very good dressing! I had this for dinner tonight and it was a great dinner salad. The blue cheese gave it a nice robust flavor. I did use regular greek style yogurt instead of nonfat yogurt, but otherwise followed the recipe. Thanks for posting! I made this for Zaar Stars Tag.

    This is a very fresh and wonderful tasting blue cheese dressing which is not strong on blue cheese flavor. My husband normally does not care for very strong tasting foods and this was perfectly fine for his taste. This will appeal to many people. I did not have iceberg lettuce and used the dressing on mixed salad of my choice - perfect! Thank you for posting this yummy recipe.

    What a wonderful cooling, summer treat, that just was so delightful, I might have to have this again tomorrow. I really, really like the use of non-fat yogurt here, as well as the combination of (light) mayo, buttermilk and fresh blue cheese. I whirled this up in the morning and let all meld together, and then this afternoon had this on icy, iceburg lettuce, which; just happens to be my most favorite salad, ever. This is so wonderful! The only change I made was adding sliced thin red onion, and a lot of fresh ground pepper. Great! Thanks, mersaydees!

    This is a very mild blue-cheese dressing, perfect for those who don't like strong flavor of blue cheese. Some of my family liked it that way (thought it tasted like ranch). I wanted a bit more flavor so I ground some garlic salt onto it. I used hearts of romaine instead of iceberg lettuce but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I'll be making this one again! Edited to say we ate leftover dressing the next day - I am still shocked that my kids love this, and they don't really like blue cheese! It was delicious on a salad which included diced avocado.
