Classic Wedge Salad

This classic Wedge salad is made with wedge of lettuce, then topped with blue cheese dressing, diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese crumbles. It’s the perfect side salad for any meal or make this salad a meal itself, by adding cooked chicken or shrimp.

I had never heard of a wedge salad until a few years ago. A restaurant I visit often added wedge salads to their menu. It wasn’t until I saw the pictures, they posted on Facebook of the wedge salad that made me finally diced to try it. The wedge salad was amazing. I am a lover of blue cheese, so since that first day I tried the wedge salad, it has become my favorite type of salad. I make wedge salads at home often now.

A wedge salad makes a great side salad to go with Steak, Sandwich’s, or spaghetti. You can also top you’re a wedge salad with shrimp or chicken and make it a meal itself.

2. Cut the head of lettuce in half, then each half will be cut into half again. Chop the stem off the end pieces of lettuce. (The head of lettuce will be cut into ¼ pieces.)
