Tips:

  • To make the perfect wedge salad, start with a crisp head of iceberg lettuce. Cut the lettuce into quarters or sixths, depending on the size of the head. Remove the core and any wilted leaves.
  • Dress the lettuce wedges with a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, sour cream, and crumbled blue cheese. For a tangy twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice or white vinegar. You can also add chopped bacon, chives, or chopped walnuts for extra flavor.
  • Top the salad wedges with crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, and blue cheese crumbles. For a heartier salad, add grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • Serve the salad wedges immediately, while the lettuce is still crisp.
