Scale
- 6 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup (2 oz.) crumbled blue cheese, plus more for serving
- 2–3 Tbsp. hot sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- table salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 romaine hearts, cut into 4 wedges each
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large skillet or cast iron skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until well browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
- Stir together in a medium bowl mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice and chives until well combined. Add blue cheese and about 1/4 cup of the bacon and stir until well incorporated. Add 2 tablespoons of hot sauce (or more, to taste) and stir. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve over romaine wedges and top with more bacon, blue cheese and chives.
Notes
- Store leftover dressing in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- All blue cheeses will work fine. Pick your favorite. When in doubt, ask the cheesemonger for a fresh, good quality crumbly blue cheese.
- Buffalo blue cheese dressing is great for crudite, chicken wings, grilled chicken or steak, and the base of cole slaw.
