Tips:

  • For a more flavorful dressing, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and good quality olive oil.
  • If you don't have blue cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as feta, cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • To make a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the bacon and add some chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • To make a vegan version of the salad, omit the bacon, blue cheese, and eggs. You can add some chopped avocado or tofu for protein.
  • If you are short on time, you can use store-bought croutons. However, homemade croutons are much more flavorful.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and croutons up to 24 hours in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the salad.

The iceberg wedge salad is a classic American dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crisp lettuce, creamy dressing, and savory toppings, the iceberg wedge salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
