How to Make a Great Wedge Salad
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 Large Lettuce
- Blue Cheese
- Diced Tomatoes
- Crumpled Bacon
Instructions
- Start with a head of iceberg lettuce. Cut the lettuce into quarters, making sure each wedge is equal in size.
- Rinse the lettuce wedges under cold water and dry them with paper towels. This will help remove any dirt or debris and ensure the lettuce is crisp.
- Place each wedge on a plate and add your toppings. Classic wedge salad toppings include bacon, blue cheese crumbles, diced tomatoes, and a creamy dressing like blue cheese or ranch.
- Add additional toppings based on your personal preference. Some great options include sliced red onions, diced avocado, chopped hard-boiled eggs, or croutons.
- Drizzle the dressing over the top of the salad, making sure to cover each wedge evenly.
- Finish the salad with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a few chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Remember to keep the lettuce wedges cold before serving and to add the dressing just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
