Bibb Lettuce Salad With Gochugaru Blue Cheese Dressing

Composed Salad

This is a great salad for a large party. I plate it platter style for people to create their own salad plates. As a side or an appetizer this will feed 8. Otherwise it will feed 4. This is a twist on a classic buttermilk dressed bibb lettuce salad. The gochugaru buttermilk blue cheese dressing pools deliciously inside the nooks and crannies of the bibb lettuce. I use a store bough roast chicken to make life easier, especially if this is a weeknight meal. For a bit of crunch and salt, I use crunchy fried peas. So good. You can find them in asian grocery stores and occasionally in your regular spot. They’re an addicting snack. You’ve been warned. Use the freshest of market veggies! If you find some fresh corn, use it instead of the baby corn. I do love my baby corn though… so maybe add both!
