ICEBERG WEDGE WITH CHUNKY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
Once looked down upon as so 1950s, the iceberg wedge with tangy blue cheese dressing has made a comeback, and with good reason. I'm always amazed at the enthusiastic response when I set out these salads-either on a party buffet table, or for a sit-down dinner. Guys especially love it.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients until combined. When ready to serve, set each lettuce wedge on a plate, spoon on about 1/2 cup dressing, and top with a handful of cherry tomato halves and a sprinkling of crumbled bacon.
- The dressing and the bacon crumbles can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Assemble the salad shortly before serving.
- Mexican tarragon (also called mint marigold) is easily grown throughout Texas and is similar in taste to French tarragon, which literally can't take the Texas heat. If you don't find Mexican tarragon in the grocery store, look for the flowering plants at your local nursery. Little pots of these herbs also make charming party favors.
- If you are so inclined, cut the calorie and fat load by using low-fat or nonfat mayonnaise and low-fat or nonfat sour cream instead of the full-fat stuff.
TWISTED ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD WITH WARM GORGONZOLA DRESSING
This is a classic salad which was inspired by some posts this week which reminded me of mine.

Steps:
- Make the blue cheese sauce. In a small pot add the 3 tablespoons of butter and melt, add the shallots and cook 2-3 minutes until lightly soft. Add the cheese, sauce, cream and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook on low on the back burner until you are ready to serve.
- Saute the chopped or diced bacon until nice and crispy remove and drain on a paper towel and set to the side.
- Marinating the chopped vegetables. Chop the olives (or you can buy them pre chopped), chop the cucumber and red onion. Toss in a mixing cup of anything you want with just 1 teaspoon of Italian vinaigrette. You don't need much and you don't want to soak the vegetables. Just a light seasoning and then chill.
- As the vegetables marinade, now the tomatoes. Either on the stove in a saute pan or in a 400 degree oven, cut the grape or cherry tomatoes in half, drizzle a little olive oil on them, salt and pepper and cook just until slightly cooked. Just 5-7 minutes tops. Don't over cook, you want them warm but not "too soft or mushy.".
- Lets put it together -- Now put your wedge on a nice plate with the chilled wedge, then top with some of the roasted tomatoes which should be slightly warm, top with some of the marinated cucumber, olive and onion mix. Then top with the warm gorgonzola sauce and top with chopped bacon.
- It just takes the classic and makes it even better, the warm dressing is so good against the chilled marinated chopped vegetables and chilled lettuce.

- If you don't have crumbled blue cheese, you can make your own by crumbling a block of blue cheese with a fork.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk together all of the ingredients and store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When assembling the salad, start with a layer of lettuce leaves. Then, top with the crumbled bacon, tomatoes, and red onion. Finally, drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
- For a more substantial salad, add some grilled or roasted chicken or steak.
