Lettuce Wedge Salad with Bacon and Sour Cream Dressing

Lettuce wedge salad is one of the easiest salads to make! It’s crunchy, smoky, juicy and so delicious with a rich, tangy sour cream dressing. Serve it on its own or as a side with a grilled steak or chicken. Both bacon and the dressing can be prepared one day ahead. Iceberg lettuce can be substituted with romaine lettuce.

Sour Cream Dressing	Salad
150 g Sour cream 3 tbsp Mayonnaise 1 Garlic clove, minced 2 tsp Finely grated lemon zest 3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped Salt and pepper to taste	1 head Iceberg lettuce, cored and quartered 2 tbsp Red sweet bell pepper, diced 1 small bunch chives (or parsley), chopped 100 g Bacon bits Grape tomatoes, optional

Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
In a skillet cook the bacon bits until crisp or to your liking.
Core and cut the head of lettuce into 4 equal wedges. Transfer each wedge of lettuce together with a couple of grape tomatoes if using onto serving plates. Spoon over some sour cream dressing and sprinkle with finely chopped chives or parsley, diced sweet pepper and cooked bacon bits.
