Wedge Salad

Something I recently tried isn’t exactly a famous restaurant recipe but it is a famous recipe and that is the “Wedge Salad.”  The concept of the wedge salad is simple, a scrumptious, yet slightly healthy salad meal. Making it should only take about 15-30 minutes, however it should be noted that this is not the type of meal you can save for a “rainy day” in a Tupperware container in the refrigerator, this is a recipe that should be enjoyed immediately after it is prepared.

What’s Needed

1 – Head of iceberg lettuce
- Blue cheese dressing
1 – Tomato sliced however you desire
1 – Red Onion diced finely
1/2 – cup crumbled blue cheese
1 – cup cooked bacon (crumbled) REAL bacon bits can be substituted.
1/2 – cup Cheddar Cheese
1 – Hard Boiled Egg (optional)
1 – Large Salad Bowl
1 – Sharp Knife

Directions

1.  Remove the outer leaves from the head of the iceburg lettuce and clean it while keeping the head intact. Cut into quarters.

2. Put one quarter of the lettuce in your salad bowl so that the wedge faces up.

3. Pour several tablespoons of bleu cheese dressing over the wedge.

4. Add cheddar cheese over the dressing.

5. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon bits over the salad.

6. Slice your red onion finely and sprinkle over salad. Add a diced hard-boiled egg, if you like. Serve immediately.
