Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
Description
This salad recipe cuts an iceberg lettuce head into four wedges after removing outer leaves. Each wedge is dressed with a creamy blue cheese dressing made by whisking blue cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. The toppings include quartered cherry tomatoes, diced red onions, and extra crumbled blue cheese, adding color, flavor, and texture contrast.
The blue cheese dressing delivers a tangy, sharp, and slightly spicy character that complements the crisp, mild lettuce. The combination of creamy elements and fresh vegetables results in a balanced salad. Serving immediately prevents the lettuce from becoming soggy, maintaining the wedge shape and crunch.
Any leftover salad components should be stored separately from the dressing in airtight containers to preserve freshness up to three days. The dressing itself can be prepared two to three days ahead and refrigerated covered for flavor development and convenience when assembling the salad.
