The North Woods Inn Salad is a crisp and refreshing iceberg lettuce salad dressed in a creamy, tangy gorgonzola buttermilk dressing, perfect as a light appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 1 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 oz gorgonzola crumbles
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, gorgonzola crumbles, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
  2. Prepare the lettuce: Chop the large head of iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
  3. Toss the salad: Just before serving, pour the prepared dressing over the chopped lettuce. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all lettuce pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Serve immediately: Serve the salad immediately to maintain the crisp texture of the iceberg lettuce and freshness of the dressing.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, substitute gorgonzola with blue cheese or feta.
  • Adding toasted walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch.
  • Make sure to dress the salad just before serving to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste; more salt or pepper can be added if desired.
