Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices bacon
- 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon until crispy. Place bacon slices in a cold skillet, turn the heat to medium, and cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cool, crumble the bacon and set aside.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the lettuce. Remove any wilted outer leaves and cut the head of iceberg lettuce into quarters, creating four wedges. Trim off the core if necessary.
Step 3
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them. Set aside.
Step 4
Place each lettuce wedge on a plate. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of blue cheese dressing over each wedge.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cherry tomato halves evenly over the dressed wedges.
Step 6
Top each wedge with crumbled bacon and blue cheese crumbles.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and hearty wedge salad!
