ICEBERG WEDGES WITH BACON AND BUTTERMILK DRESSING
"This salad from Thomas Keller's family-style restaurant, Ad Hoc, in Yountville, California, is a twist on the quintessential American combination of iceberg lettuce, tomato wedges and packaged bacon bits with a mayonnaise dressing. Only the iceberg lettuce wedges stay the same: The tomatoes are oven-roasted, the bacon is cut extra thick and the buttermilk dressing is spiked with chives, mint and parsley." This salad still is one of my favorites and this take on it is delicious! Food & Wine Magazine, October 2007 edition, Entertaining Napa Style. Have not allowed for cooling or chilling time.

ST. ANSELM'S ICEBERG WEDGE SALAD
This wedge salad, adorned with blue cheese and warm bacon vinaigrette, is served at the restaurant St. Anselm in Brooklyn. The revelatory vinaigrette is actually a roux made with bacon fat, then thinned with cider vinegar and water, a hit of sugar and another of Dijon mustard. It is superb, and it would not be out of place drizzled over grilled asparagus, accompanied by chopped hard-boiled eggs.

Steps:
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Lower the heat under the skillet, then stir in the flour and cook, stirring often with a spoon, until the flour is lightly browned, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water to the mixture, along with the vinegar, sugar and mustard, and allow to come to a simmer. Whisk the mixture frequently until the dressing is thick enough to resemble gravy and coat the back of a spoon, approximately 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Put the iceberg wedges on plates. Drizzle with the warm dressing, and sprinkle with the bacon pieces, blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right lettuce. Use a firm head of iceberg lettuce for best results. Avoid heads that are too loose or have brown spots.
- Cut the lettuce properly. Cut the lettuce into 4 or 6 wedges, depending on the size of the head. Make sure to cut through the core so that the wedges hold together.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy. This will help to add flavor and texture to the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 3 days in advance.
- Assemble the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

The iceberg wedge salad with warm bacon and blue cheese dressing is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing salad, give this one a try.
