Lettuce with Tangy Dressing

Lettuce with Tangy Dressing
The unique leaves of lettuce with this creamy dressing create a lively dance of flavors.

Whisk together 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons tarragon or red wine vinegar. Blend in 2 tablespoons yogurt, and 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese. Mash into the dressing with fork until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon snipped chives or dill and spoon over a bowl of lettuce. Garnish with sweet red onion and carrot.
