Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce. Using a sharp knife, cut the head of lettuce into four equal wedges. Cut off the core from each wedge so it sits flat on a plate.
Step 2
Wash the wedges under cold running water to remove any debris between layers. Pat the wedges dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Step 4
Chop the cooked bacon into small bite-sized pieces or crumble it using your hands.
Step 5
Place each wedge of lettuce on a serving plate. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of dressing over each wedge, letting it cascade down the sides.
Step 6
Top the wedges with halved cherry tomatoes, bacon crumbles, and blue cheese.
Step 7
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them evenly over the salads for a fresh garnish.
Step 8
Season each wedge with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve immediately with a knife and fork, and enjoy!
