Wedge Salad with Everything Bagel Seasoning
Description
Wedge Salad with Everything Bagel Seasoning showcases large quartered iceberg lettuce heads as a sturdy base for toppings. The main components include homemade ranch dressing providing creaminess, crispy bacon for smoky depth, red onion slices for a sharp bite, and sweet cherry tomatoes for freshness. The final sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning contributes a mix of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and salt that enhances overall flavor and texture.
The salad is assembled simply by layering these toppings over the wedges and serving immediately to preserve crispness. The combination offers contrasts in texture—crisp lettuce with crunchy bacon and seasoning—and balances creamy and savory notes with fresh acidity from the tomato.
This wedge salad is suitable as a distinctive starter or a crunchy side dish in casual or formal meals. It pairs well with grilled meats or sandwiches. It can be modified with alternatives like romaine lettuce or different dressings according to preferences.
Some ingredients like the ranch dressing, cooked bacon, and sliced components can be prepared ahead to speed assembly. Leftovers should be served promptly as the lettuce can wilt once dressed. Variations include swapping bacon for roasted chickpeas or adding creamy avocado for richness.
