  • Cook the bacon. Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels.
  • Assemble the salad. Place the lettuce wedges on a platter. Top each wedge with bacon, blue cheese dressing, tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese.
  • Serve immediately. This salad is best served immediately, while the dressing is still warm.
