Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

This is a recent find and another easy, but good recipe. Great with steak.

1/2 lb blue cheese, crumbled, plus more for garnish

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp hot sauce

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup olive oil

1/4 cup buttermilk

2 heads iceberg lettuce, cored, washed and patted dry

1/2 medium red onion, thin slices (optional)

1/2 lb sliced bacon, cooked crisp, drained and crumbled

Combine the cheese (leave a little to garnish), lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper in a medium-size mixing bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the mixture together to form a thick paste. Drizzle in the olive oil, stirring continuously with the fork until it's creamy. Add the buttermilk; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut the heads of lettuce into 4 wedges. Spoon 1/4 cup of dressing over each wedge garnish with onion and bacon and remaining cheese.
