LAYERED BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND ICEBERG SALAD



Layered Blue Cheese, Bacon and Iceberg Salad image

What's better than a classic wedge? One that's stacked with all the usual suspects, plus some new friends. Carrots add just the right amount of color and root-veggie crunchiness. You can toss the salad with ranch or French dressing if you don't have blue cheese on hand.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 small red onion, cut into thin rings
6 strips bacon
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small head iceberg lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
3 small carrots, cut into very thin rounds
2 cups croutons

Steps:

  • Soak the onions in ice water for at least 20 minutes. Strain.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Remove, drain on paper towels and roughly chop.
  • Whisk together the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Using a 3-quart straight-sided tall glass bowl for 1 large salad or four 16-ounce wide-mouth glass jars for 4 individual salads, make a layer with a third of the lettuce, then add the following in separate layers: the tomatoes, the olives, half the remaining lettuce, the carrots, the croutons, and the remaining lettuce. Sprinkle the top with the onions and bacon. (The salad can be put together, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.)
  • If making 1 salad, just before serving, transfer it to a large bowl, toss with about half the dressing and season with salt and pepper. If making 4 salads, add dressing to each jar, season with salt and pepper, cover with the lid and shake to coat. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ear corn, shucked
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 pound slab bacon about 1 inch thick, halved lengthwise
1 head iceberg lettuce, quartered into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Blue Cheese Dressing (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons Ryan's Pickled Red Onions (recipe follows)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Dash hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the corn: Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Rub the oil on the corn on the prepared baking sheet. Broil the corn, turning every few minutes, until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cob and set aside; discard the cob.
  • For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Mix the barbecue sauce, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Put the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and brush with a layer of the sauce. Bake, flipping and basting with more sauce every 10 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through and juicy and the sauce is sticky and dark, 45 to 55 minutes. Cut the bacon in half crosswise to yield 4 pieces.
  • To assemble the salad: Arrange the wedges of lettuce on a large platter. Add the tomatoes, corn and bacon around the wedges. Season the lettuce and tomatoes with salt. Top with coarsely ground pepper. Spoon the dressing over the lettuce wedges and top with the pickled onions. Serve immediately.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, then fold in the blue cheese, leaving a few lumps of cheese.
  • Place the onions and peppercorns in a jar. Whisk the vinegars together with the sugar, salt and 1 cup water in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the onions and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. The pickled onions will keep about 2 weeks in the fridge.

ICEBERG WEDGE BLUE CHEESE BACON & TOMATO SALAD



Iceberg Wedge Blue Cheese Bacon & Tomato Salad image

I first tried a salad like this in a restaurant. I think my homemade version is much better. Hat's off to Luby for the outstanding recipe for Blue Cheese Dressing which is the only one I will eat now. I copied the recipe verbatim, and included all steps in making the dressing straight from Luby's recipe, #55514. This is my favorite salad in the summertime, reminds me of a BLT without the bread.
