WEDGE SALAD



Wedge Salad image

The beauty of a wedge salad is in its simplicity, and this modernized recipe amplifies each element of the steak-house starter to cool, crunchy, super-satisfying effect. This summer, dig into crisp lettuce, sweet tomatoes, savory bacon, and tangy blue-cheese dressing.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces mild blue cheese, such as Danish, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (we like Hellmann's)
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces bacon (6 to 7 slices; we like Smithfield), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, or 1 beefsteak tomato (8 ounces)
1 head iceberg lettuce, rinsed, outer leaves removed

Steps:

  • Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and chives, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (and up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to really meld.
  • Place bacon in a medium heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve bacon fat for another use (it's delicious for pan-frying hash browns), or discard.
  • Halve cherry tomatoes (if using beefsteak, halve and squeeze out some seeds beforehand, so it's not watery, then cut into bite-size pieces). Season with salt and pepper; let stand 5 minutes. Cut lettuce through its core into 4 wedges; place each one on a plate. Spoon dressing on top and sprinkle with bacon, tomatoes, remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese, and more chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce: For the best flavor and texture, use a fresh, crisp head of iceberg lettuce.
  • Cut the lettuce properly: Cut the lettuce into wedges, rather than chopping it, to prevent it from wilting.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for iceberg lettuce wedge salads. Some popular options include bacon, crumbled blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
  • Make a homemade dressing: A simple vinaigrette or blue cheese dressing is a great way to add flavor to your salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, if you prefer.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Iceberg lettuce wedge salads are best served immediately after they are made, as the lettuce can wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Iceberg lettuce wedge salads are a classic side dish or main course salad that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make, customizable, and delicious. With a few simple tips, you can make a wedge salad that is sure to impress your friends and family.
