- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the head of iceberg lettuce. Cut the head into four equal wedges and rinse each wedge under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
Place each lettuce wedge on a chilled serving plate, with the cut-side facing up and the point facing outward.
Step 3
Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of bleu cheese dressing over each wedge, letting it cascade down the sides.
Step 4
Sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles evenly across each wedge for added texture and flavor.
Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over and around each wedge.
Step 6
Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-size pieces and distribute them evenly over the wedges.
Step 7
Finely chop the chives and garnish each wedge with a sprinkling of fresh chives.
Step 8
Season lightly with salt and black pepper to taste for an extra pop of flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and cold. Enjoy!
