LAYERED BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND ICEBERG SALAD
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.

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.

BARBECUE BACON WEDGE SALAD WITH GRILLED CORN
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 WEDGES WITH CREAMY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
This is a simple and fantastic retro-diner salad that is based on a recipe from the January 2003 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Another rare recipe that my picky DH actually likes! I often serve this to compliment one of his BBQ's, and sometimes add tomato wedges, especially if I have some that are garden fresh.

ICEBERG WEDGE BLUE CHEESE BACON & TOMATO SALAD
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.
