Think about that big chunk of chilled iceberg salad from your favorite steakhouse. While iceberg lettuce my not be the most nutritious or flavorful lettuce you can have, there is something refreshing about it. Maybe it’s just about it’s simplicity. Here, I combined two favorite salads with my Iceberg Wedge Cob Salad. The iceberg supports the tomato and avocado very nicely, and there is no shortage of bleu cheese. Plus, the grilled chicken ensures that this entree salad is completely satisfying. The real star of this salad is the hand-made bleu cheese dressing. Made with kefer and sour cream to balance out the pungent sharpness of the cheese, you will love it, and find yourself pouring a little on everything you can.

Instructions
To prepare dressing
-
Combine kefir and sour cream with vinegar and salt and pepper, mix well.
Crumble bleu cheese coarsely and fold into mixture, break-up large chunks but be careful not to over mix or the dressing will have a bleu-green color instead of creamy white.
Refrigerate until time of service.
Dressing has best flavor when prepared the day before.
