Instructions

Prepare the lettuce: Remove the outer leaves and rinse under cold water. Chop the head of lettuce in half and then half again, making four wedges. Trim the end to remove the stem. Rinse under water again and dry thoroughly.
Prepare the dressing: Stir the sour cream, blue cheese, lemon juice, garlic, chives, and salt together in a small bowl until combined.
Assemble: Drizzle the dressing on top, followed by the tomatoes, bacon, blue cheese, and freshly minced chives if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover blue cheese dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before using.
