Steps:

• For the Dressing: Place 7 oz. blue cheese, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sour cream, oil, sugar, garlic and pepper in a bowl. Using a hand-held mixer on low speed, combine all the ingredients, scraping down the bowl once.
• Refrigerate 24 hours or as long as 3 days.
• For the Salad: Cut the lettuce head in half. Then cut each half in thirds (if small, cut each half in half).
• Trim the core from each wedge.
• Place the wedges on chilled salad plates. Spoon about 1/3 cup of dressing over each wedge, allowing it to run over the sides. Sprinkle each with blue cheese and tomatoes, dividing evenly.
• Serve chilled.

• The dressing and the bacon crumbles can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Assemble the salad shortly before serving.
• Mexican tarragon (also called mint marigold) is easily grown throughout Texas and is similar in taste to French tarragon, which literally can't take the Texas heat. If you don't find Mexican tarragon in the grocery store, look for the flowering plants at your local nursery. Little pots of these herbs also make charming party favors.
• If you are so inclined, cut the calorie and fat load by using low-fat or nonfat mayonnaise and low-fat or nonfat sour cream instead of the full-fat stuff.
