Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 slices applewood-smoked bacon
1 large head iceberg lettuce, cored and sliced into 6 equal wedges
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 scallions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set a rack on the baking sheet and lay the bacon on it in a single layer. Cook until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through. When cool enough to handle, chop coarsely.
  • For the ranch dressing: In a bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the buttermilk, sour cream, chives, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, salt, celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic and scallions and whisk together (or shake vigorously if using a jar).
  • Assembly: Lay a lettuce wedge on each of 6 salad plates. Drizzle each wedge with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing, letting it flow between the leaves of the lettuce and pool on the plate. Sprinkle over the tomatoes, onion and bacon. Garnish with the chives.
  • Any leftover dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. It's also a good salad to make ahead of time.

This salad was easy to make and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. However, the dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I found this salad to be very bland. The dressing was not flavorful and the bacon and blue cheese crumbles did not add much flavor.

This salad was a bit too rich for my taste. The dressing was very heavy and the blue cheese crumbles were overpowering.

I've never been a big fan of wedge salads, but this one changed my mind. The dressing is so good, and the bacon and blue cheese crumbles add a lot of flavor.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The blue cheese dressing is tangy and creamy, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor.
