STEAKHOUSE WEDGE SALAD



Steakhouse Wedge Salad image

The classic wedge salad gets an upgrade thanks to meaty, crispy slab bacon lardons and cherry tomatoes warmed in bacon fat until slightly softened and full of flavor.

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 clove garlic, grated
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup crumbled Maytag or other blue cheese (about 6 ounces)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
12 ounces slab bacon, skin removed and cut in to 1/2-inch cubes
1 clove garlic, smashed
2 cups cherry tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 6 wedges
3 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Make the blue cheese dressing: Stir together the grated garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl to form a garlic paste. Add the half-and-half, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup of the blue cheese and whisk until smooth. Gently stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese and season with pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the salad: Put the oil and bacon in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it starts to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden and crispy, stirring often, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Return the skillet with the bacon fat to the stove and decrease the heat to low. Add the smashed garlic clove and more oil if necessary and cook for 1 minute to infuse the oil. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, shaking the pan often, until slightly softened and a few of the skins are split, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the bacon back in to keep it warm.
  • Put the iceberg wedges on a large serving platter and top with the scallions and tomatoes. Spoon the dressing on top, letting it run down the sides. Finish with the bacon.

Add remaining ingredients mixing thoroughly. Must refrigerate for 24 hours before serving for best flavor. For the salad assembly, divide iceberg lettuce head into four equal sections, cutting down towards the stem. Place on plates, topping liberally with the blue cheese dressing, crumbled bacon, onion, pecans, chopped tomato and crumbled blue cheese. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Just a little bit. Serve nice and cold, adding salt and pepper to taste. . **If you don't have buttermilk, and really, who does? You can take a cup of regular milk and add 1 3/4 tsp of cream of tartar - whisk it together and viola! Buttermilk. Lemon juice also works in lieu of cream of tartar.
