Notes
- Storing the salad: Once assembled, wedge salads are best eaten immediately! If you want to pack it for lunch or save it for later, it's best to store the lettuce, dressing, and toppings all separately.
- Storing the dressing: If you have extra blue cheese dressing it will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator.
