Upute

For The Parmesan Dressing:

Combine

. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine.

Taste & Adjust

. Taste the dressing and add more salt, pepper, lemon juice or parmesan as desired.

Think If Desired

. If the dressing seems too thick, you can thin it out with some water, milk, or buttermilk 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Serve and Store

Use right away or chill to store. Dressing will keep in the fridge up to 1 week. For best results, make the dressing a few hours (up to 1 day) in advance to let the flavors develop.

Prep The Lettuce:

Wash The Lettuce

. Start by washing the outside of the lettuce.

Remove the outer layers of lettuce

(any outer leaves that looks wilted, damaged, or extra dirty).

Trim off the tip of the stem, if needed

(this sometimes looks an almost rusty-brown). Don’t cut off the whole stem end, just the rusty-looking tip.

Use a long knife to cut the lettuce in half top to bottom

, through the stem end.

Cut each half into 2-3 wedges

(3 for a large head of lettuce, or 2 for small).

Gently rinse each wedge of lettuce

, letting the water run between the layers of lettuce to rinse them out. Drain extra water and set aside.

Serve or store

. Use the wedges right away for wedge salad, or store in a zip-top bag in the fridge with a paper towel to absorb any excess liquid.
