Wedge Salad
Description
The Wedge Salad is built on quartered iceberg lettuce heads, which provide a firm, crunchy base. The dressing mixes sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk with finely minced shallot and blue cheese for tang and creaminess. Crispy bacon bits scattered on top add a smoky saltiness that complements the sharpness of blue cheese. Fresh diced tomatoes and sliced chives add brightness and color. The salad is drizzled with dressing and served immediately, often finished with freshly cracked black pepper for a subtle kick.
This salad works well as a starter or side dish offering a refreshing balance to heavier mains. Presentation on chilled plates can further enhance the cool crispness. The inclusion of blue cheese in both dressing and topping ensures a consistent flavor throughout.
