Turn your home into a Chicago steakhouse with this classic first course. You can certainly use your favorite bottle of blue cheese dressing, but our homemade version is as easy as turning on your blender.

Serves 4

Prep time: 25 minutes

Cook/assembling time: 15 minutes

Heat a large skillet and add bacon. Cook until fat is rendered and strips are crispy. Drain on a paper towel. When cool, crumble and set aside.

For the dressing, add the buttermilk, sour cream, blue cheese, vinegar and sugar to blender. Pulse until smooth. Fold in one tablespoon of the bacon and add salt and pepper to taste.

For the salad, place one wedge on each plate and top with crumbled bacon, tomatoes, onion and dressing.
