Dressing

 * 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
 * 1 garlic clove
 * 1 cup real mayonnaise
 * 1/2 cup sour cream
 * 1/2 cup buttermilk
 * 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
 * 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

 * 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
 * 1/4 teaspoon paprika
 * 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
 * a dash of Tabasco sauce (optional!)

Salad

 * 2 heads of iceberg lettuce

Directions

 * 1) Sprinkle the garlic clove with the salt. Mash it with a fork as finely as possible, as the garlic has a very strong flavor in the finished dressing.
 * 2) Add all the dressing ingredients to a bowl.. Stir it together gently, then taste. Add more of the seasonings to adjust it as much as you like. Chill for 2 hours; thin with milk if needed.
 * 3) Wash and dry the iceberg lettuce and cut each head into four wedges. Put on eight seperate plates and pour lots of dressing on each wedge.
