Maytag Blue Dressing

from Kincaid's Restaurant in San Mateo, CA

1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. onion salt*
4 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/3 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 oz. buttermilk
3 oz. Maytag blue cheese
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
4 tsp. crumbled Maytag blue cheese (topping for salad)
2 1/2 tbsp. slivered almonds, toasted
1 pinch dry mustard powder
1 pinch white pepper

Dissolve spices in vinegar; add Worcestershire sauce & tabasco. Combine with sour cream & mayonniase, and thin out with buttermilk. Add blue cheese & let sit overnight.
Serve over crisp Romaine lettuce & top with slivered almonds & crumbled Maytag.

*go easy on this ingredient--a combination of onion powder & salt might be better.
