North Woods Inn Salad

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.


3️⃣ Serve Immediately

This salad is best served cold and fresh, while the lettuce is extra crisp.

 Why It Works

  • Iceberg lettuce delivers unbeatable crunch.

  • Buttermilk adds tang and thins the dressing perfectly.

  • Gorgonzola provides bold, savory depth.

  • Simple seasonings balance everything beautifully.

It’s rich without being heavy and pairs perfectly with grilled steaks, prime rib, burgers, or even barbecue.

 Pro Tips

  • Chill the lettuce before serving for maximum crispness.

  • Make the dressing 1–2 hours ahead to let flavors meld.

  • Add sliced red onion or cherry tomatoes for variation.

  • Serve alongside warm bread and a perfectly cooked steak for the full steakhouse experience.

Cool, creamy, crunchy, and packed with flavor — this is steakhouse salad done right.
