Wedge Salad

It’s no surprise that this popular salad from the 1950s and ’60s has made a comeback – what’s not to love about blue cheese dressing and crispy bacon atop crunchy lettuce? We recommend a pungent blue cheese like Maytag or Roquefort in both the dressing and to crumble on top.

• Serves 4
• Active time: 15 minutes
• Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Blue Cheese Dressing:

• ¼ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp. crumbled blue cheese
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. milk
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

For the Salad: 

• 4 slices MOINK bacon
• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1. Make the Blue Cheese Dressing: Stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet until browned and crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Crumble once cooled.
3. To serve, cut the lettuce into 4 wedges and place 1 wedge onto each serving plate. Drizzle with dressing and top with tomatoes, bacon, crumbled blue cheese, and chives.
