blue cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Feta is lower in fat and cream cheese is more affordable.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pancetta

Turkey bacon is leaner, while pancetta is often less expensive.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is healthier and can mimic buttermilk's tang.

iceberg lettuce

Romaine offers more nutrients, while green leaf is often cheaper.

Cut the iceberg lettuce into quarters and place on a serving plate.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.

Drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble once cooled.

In a bowl, mix buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Drizzle olive oil and vinegar into the dressing, whisking until combined.

Spoon the dressing generously over each wedge of lettuce.

Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the wedges.

Add cherry tomatoes and red onion slices on top.

Crumble blue cheese over the salad wedges.

Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
