- Cut the lettuce wedges evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the lettuce: This will help prevent the lettuce from tearing.
- Chill the lettuce wedges before serving: This will help them stay crisp.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

- Garnish the salad with crumbled bacon, blue cheese, or chopped tomatoes: This will add extra flavor and texture.
