Classic Bacon Blue Cheese Wedge Salad Recipe
One absolutely timeless salad that stands out as a favorite of mine is my Classic Bacon Blue Cheese Wedge Salad. It’s filled with fresh veggies, bacon bits, chunks of blue cheese and a sweet balsamic glaze, all over crispy iceberg lettuce.
Ingredients
- 1 Head of Lettuce
- 2 Strips Bacon cooked and chopped
- 2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 1/2 Red Onion chopped
- Blue Cheese block or crumbled
Dressing suggestion
- Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- Start by washing the head of iceberg lettuce. Then you’ll take the whole head and cut it into four equal quarters or “wedges”. Do this by cutting it in half from the top to the stem. Then in half again.
- The next step is sautéing the bacon. To sauté the bacon, cut the 8 slices into about 1/4 inch bacon bits and sauté on medium heat. Cook the bacon bits until they are brown and reach the level of crispiness you like. Once it’s done to your liking, put the bacon on a plate with a paper towel.
- Next you’ll cut the cherry tomatoes in half and slice the red onion into small pieces.
- Now make it pretty! Lay each 1/4 of the lettuce head on individual plates and add plenty of each ingredient—plenty is key!
- Drizzle balsamic glaze or your favorite dressing for a final touch!
