Last Night's Recipe: Iceberg & Watercress Salad w/Bleu Cheese

This dressing was the BEST! I couldn't believe something so good would come out of some pretty simple ingredients. We debated if the bleu cheese was expensive or not, at $2.50 I didn't think so. The original called for chives & celery but we skipped both. I would think the celery would make it more interesting for sure, but the chives might be superfluous. This dressing was FAR AND ABOVE anything we've bought in the store -- plus the store bought adds tons of corn syrup (WHY?!) and soybean oils (????). I highly recommend this one if you like bleu cheese dressing you won't believe how good it is.
Iceberg & Watercress Salad w/Bleu Cheese
Salad
2 bunches watercress
1 head iceberg lettuce

Clean above ingredients, discard coarse stems of the watercress and slice iceberg lettuce crosswise.

Dressing
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1 4oz. package crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1-2 tbsps milk or water

Whisk all ingredients except milk or water, then thin to desired consistency with water or milk (we used 2 tbsps milk).
Enjoy! This made enough for about four people.
