About Wedge salad with blue cheese dressing

The Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing is a classic American dish that showcases simplicity and bold flavors. It begins with a crisp wedge of iceberg lettuce, offering a refreshing crunch and mild taste. The salad is topped with tangy blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, crispy bacon bits, diced tomatoes, and sometimes red onion, creating a rich, savory experience. Originating from mid-20th century steakhouse cuisine, this salad is a staple for its balance of textures and indulgent flavors. While the iceberg lettuce provides hydration and a source of fiber, the creamy blue cheese dressing and bacon bring higher fat and sodium content, making it less ideal for low-calorie diets. Moderation and portion control can help balance its indulgent elements with its nutritious aspects. Perfect as a starter or side, this salad combines fresh and decadent ingredients in a timeless presentation.
