For the salad:
For the dressing:
- Set a sieve over a bowl and add the chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle liberally with salt and toss to combine. Let the tomatoes stand while you prepare the remaining ingredients; this will drain out excess water and concentrate their flavour.
- In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, crème fraîche, mayonnaise, black pepper, lemon juice and zest. Stir in most of the blue cheese, reserving a little for garnish, and set the dressing aside.
- Put enough water in a pan to just cover the bottom and add the bacon lardons in a single layer. Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the water evaporates and the bacon begins to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. Set aside.
- Remove any limp outer leaves from the lettuce and cut the head in half, then cut each half into two wedges.
- Place each lettuce wedge on a plate and drizzle with the blue cheese dressing. Top with crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes, a sprinkling of chives and the reserved blue cheese. Season with black pepper and serve.
