How to Make The Wedge Salade

  1. Core, wash, and drain one large head of iceberg lettuce, leaving the head whole.
  2. In a blender, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  3. Place the well-drained lettuce head, core-side up, in a large bowl.
  4. Carefully pour the creamy filling into the lettuce core, using a spoon to help it spread evenly.
  5. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the lettuce to chill completely.
  7. To serve, carefully slice the lettuce head into wedges. Arrange on plates and garnish as desired (e.g., bacon bits, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles).
