Ingredients

Wedge Salad
1 head iceberg lettuce
4 slices bacon cooked & crumbled
1 cup cherry tomatoes diced
1 Tbsp chives diced
1 cup blue cheese dressing*
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
Blue Cheese Dressing
2 1/2 ounces blue cheese
3 Tbsp buttermilk
3 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp champagne vinegar
1/4 tsp agave or honey
1/4 tsp garlic paste or minced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crispy Bacon
8 slices bacon

Directions

Wedge Salad
Prepare the lettuce by removing the outer leaves if needed.
Remove stem from the head of iceberg lettuce. Cut the lettuce head into four equal wedges. Lay each wedge on its "back" on the plate, so the light-colored center of the lettuce points up.
Plate the wedges and top with the blue cheese dressing, bacon crumbles, tomato, chives, and additional blue cheese crumbles.
Serve cold and enjoy!
Blue Cheese Dressing
In a small bowl, mash blue cheese and buttermilk together with a fork until mixture resembles large-curd cottage cheese.
Stir in sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder until well blended.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Note
Refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.
Crispy Bacon
Preheat oven to 400°F. Position oven rack in center of the oven.
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Use an oven-safe rack, position on a baking sheet.
Lay bacon slices in a single layer directly on a baking sheet or on a rack, making sure to not overlap.
Bake for 15-25 minutes, depending on desired crispiness and thickness* of the bacon. Flip bacon halfway through to cook both sides more evenly.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool and absorb any extra grease.
Note
400ºF for 15-25 minutes (about 15 minutes for thin bacon, more for thick cut)
