PreparationFor the Sour Cream Dressing: Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Do Ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. For the salad: Trim root end of lettuce; discard any wilted outer leaves. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then cut each quarter crosswise into 3" pieces.
