Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 romaine lettuce hearts
- 2 cups quartered grape tomatoes or diced plum tomatoes
Instructions
- For the blue cheese dressing: Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, buttermilk, hot sauce and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Mix together until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the salad: Cut off about 2 inches of the root end of each romaine heart and discard. Remove 8 outer leaves from each and place them spine-side down on a large serving platter. Chop up the remaining leaves into 1/2-inch-thick pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and blue cheese dressing and toss to coat.
- Evenly distribute the dressed salad among the whole romaine leaves. These can be held in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.

A delicious and unique way to serve salad to your guests. I added cucumber and just a few shredded carrots for color. Great idea, Daphne – love your show!!
What a great idea …I don’t care for blue cheese, so I may use a different dressing, genius use of romaine, love, love, love. I will share this recipe, who loves blue cheese.
