Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 4 slices low-sodium bacon
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup low-sodium blue cheese crumbles
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by preparing the iceberg lettuce. Remove any wilted outer leaves. Slice the head into quarters and wash thoroughly in cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel and set aside.
Step 2
2. Cook the low-sodium bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice half of a red onion. Set these aside for later assembly.
Step 4
4. In a small mixing bowl, prepare the low-sodium blue cheese dressing. Combine the plain Greek yogurt, low-sodium blue cheese crumbles, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
5. For assembling the salad, place each lettuce wedge cut side up on a serving plate.
Step 6
6. Generously spoon the blue cheese dressing over each wedge, letting it drizzle down the sides.
Step 7
7. Top each wedge salad with cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium classic wedge salad with its creamy, crunchy, and fresh deliciousness.
