Preparation
1️⃣ Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine:
-
Buttermilk
-
Mayonnaise
-
Gorgonzola crumbles
-
Garlic powder
-
Onion powder
-
White pepper
-
Salt
Mix until smooth.
For a smoother dressing, mash the gorgonzola with a fork while stirring. If you prefer more texture, leave small crumbles intact.
2️⃣ Dress the Salad
Place chopped iceberg lettuce in a large bowl.
Pour dressing over the lettuce just before serving and toss until evenly coated.
