Wedge Salad is a classic American dish renowned for its simplicity and bold textures. Typically crafted from a crisp, cold quarter of iceberg lettuce, this salad is topped with a creamy blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, and crispy bacon. Additional garnishes may include diced tomatoes, chives, or red onions for added flavor and color. Originating from mid-20th century steakhouse cuisine, it has become a staple due to its satisfying combination of crunch and creaminess. While the lettuce base is low in calories and provides hydration, the accompanying toppings—especially the bacon and blue cheese—contribute to higher levels of fat, sodium, and calories. For a healthier version, ingredients like Greek yogurt-based dressings or turkey bacon can be substituted. Despite being indulgent, the salad is a celebrated favorite for those seeking bold flavors with a hint of nostalgia.
