This has got to be the easiest salad going, no washing, chopping, tossing required. Buy a large iceberg lettuce, take off one layer of outer leaves. Cut into wedges and lay them out on an attractive dish. Make blue cheese dressing and pour it over the wedges. Done.
Make extra dressing. People can’t resist it. They will pour it over everything.

- 1 or 2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 lemon, juice of
- 1 clove minced garlic, optional
Instructions

Blend all the ingredients together

Put in jar. Serve separately from salad or swirl some on top. Can be used as a dip too, depending on thickness.
