Classic Wedge Salad
Description
In this recipe, crispy bacon is cooked until still chewy then chopped into large dice to add a smoky, savory element to the salad. A whole head of iceberg lettuce is cut into eight wedges, providing a crisp, refreshing base. The wedges are generously coated with creamy blue cheese dressing, then topped with crumbled blue cheese for extra tang and richness. Halved grape tomatoes and diced red onion add fresh, juicy bursts and mild sharpness, balanced by freshly ground black pepper and chopped chives for a mild onion flavor.
The layers of flavor and texture—from crunchy lettuce and tomatoes, creamy and salty cheese, smoky bacon, and aromatic herbs—make this wedge salad a satisfying starter or side dish. It’s a classic preparation that relies on quality ingredients and careful assembly rather than complicated techniques.
