Ingredients

• 1 head Iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Sweet pickle relish
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 piece Hard-boiled egg
• 4 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the bacon: cook the slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 2

Prepare the Thousand Island dressing by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth.

Step 3

Finely chop the hard-boiled egg and stir it into the dressing. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 4

While the dressing chills, remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce and cut the head into 4 equal wedges. Trim the core slightly if needed, keeping the wedges intact.

Step 5

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Finely chop the chives and set aside for garnish.

Step 6

To assemble, place each wedge of lettuce on a serving plate. Generously drizzle the chilled Thousand Island dressing over the top of each wedge.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped chives over each wedge for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy Mama S Iceberg Wedge Salad with Homemade Thousand Island Dressing!
