For a richer flavor, use a high-quality blue cheese. Roquefort or Stilton would be excellent choices.
If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a little more buttermilk until you reach the desired consistency.
To prevent the lettuce from wilting, keep it chilled until ready to assemble the salads.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding crispy bacon bits or toasted walnuts to the salad.
The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
