2 wedges cut from a large cored head iceberg lettuce (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 ounces blue cheese, preferably a mild one (see Cook's Note), crumbled
2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
2 peeled hard-cooked large egg, quartered
1/4 cup Blue Cheese Dressing, recipe follows
4 ounces blue cheese
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Put the iceberg wedges onto 2 chilled plates, 1 wedge per person. Sprinkle with the tomatoes, blue cheese and bacon. Divide the egg quarters between the plates. Drizzle with the Blue Cheese Dressing. Serve immediately.
In a small bowl, mash the cheese and buttermilk together with a fork until the mixture resembles large-curd cottage cheese. Stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and garlic powder until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Makes about 1 2/3 cups.
