Classic Wedge Salad
A Classic Wedge Salad is arguably one of my all-time favorite salads. I will order it almost 100% of the time at a restaurant and I make it on the regular at home. The crunch of the iceberg paired with the crispy, smokey bacon and the creamy blue-cheese dressing just make me a happy, happy girl.
Ingredients
Blue Cheese Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4-6 oz good quality blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp fresh parsely, chopped
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- kosher salt to taste
- fresh ground pepper to taste
Wedge Salad
- 2 heads iceberg lettuce, quartered
- 1 pkg bacon, crisped and crumbled
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup red onion, small diced
- balsamic vinegar for drizzling
- flakey sea salt to taste
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
Make The Dressing
- Mix all of the dressing ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Throw the dressing in the fridge until you're ready to use it. I will suggest making it at least 4 hours before you're ready to eat. The flavors will develop and the dressing will be tastier if you give it a little time.
Arrange The Salad
- For the base, I start with the quartered iceberg lettuce. Add halved cherry tomatoes and finely diced red onion. Sprinkle with the bacon.
- Dollop the blue cheese dressing over the top, add a little flakey sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Lightly drizzle the wedge salad with the balsamic vinegar.
- Enjoy!
