Finely chop the garlic, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Smash the garlic with the flat side of a knife until it becomes a paste, then add it to the dressing.
Stir in the buttermilk, ½ teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Place each lettuce wedge on a plate.
Spoon some of the dressing on top, then sprinkle with the cheese and more chives.
