Iceberg Wedge Salad
This Iceberg Wedge Salad Recipe is a simple and elegant dish that consists of a quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce, topped with blue cheese dressing, bacon bits, chopped tomatoes, and sometimes other ingredients.
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 Head Iceberg lettuce, cored and quartered
- 3 San Marzano tomatoes, seeded and chopped, or Roma
- ½ cup Blue cheese Crumbles
- ½ pound Bacon, cooked and chopped
Garlic Blue Cheese Dressing
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Sour cream
- ¼ cup Buttermilk
- ¼ teaspoon All Purpose Seasoning
- 1 clove Garlic, chopped
- ½ Lemon, juiced
- ½ cup Blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
Salad
- Using a chef's knife, core the iceberg lettuce, and cut it into four even quarters. Arrange the wedges on four serving plates.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool, then chop it into small pieces.
Garlic Blue Cheese Dressing
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, All Purpose Seasoning Blend, garlic, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute.
- Using a spoon or spatula, fold ½ cup of the blue cheese crumbles into the dressing until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld, if time allows.
Assemble
- Spoon the desired amount of garlic blue cheese dressing evenly over each lettuce wedge.
- Top each wedge with the chopped bacon, the remaining ½ cup blue cheese crumbles, and the chopped tomatoes.
Christina's Notes
- Cutting Tips: Cut the lettuce into quarters with a sharp knife no longer than 15 minutes before serving.
- Topping Ideas: Top wedge salad with crumbled bacon, black olives, red bell peppers, seasoned croutons, hard cooked eggs, carrots, cucumber, or red onion. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Protein: Make it a meal by adding chicken or steak to the salad.
