 Wedge Salad Recipe with Homemade Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Wedge Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Who doesn’t love a great salad? Wedge salad is a favorite and something we enjoy quite often. This is an easy salad, so simple to put together!

I’ve even served it for large groups because it can be made ahead. One year at our family reunion, we had about 35 for dinner. I made this salad using 4 heads of lettuce cut into smaller wedges. I figured it was safe because not everyone would eat it…right? Unfortunately I didn’t figure right and there wasn’t a crumb left in the pan at the end of the meal! Everyone just loved it!

So many yummy savory ingredients – creamy blue cheese, salty bacon, fresh tomatoes and that bright crispy iceberg lettuce. I love a bright crisp salad!! You can make your own salad dressing or cheat and use your favorite store bought dressing. Taking a shortcut? That’s ok by me, I’ll never tell! 😉

Another great salad you’ll love? Southwest Salad – easy to make with bright crunchy flavors!

  4. This is a nice way to make Iceberg look appealing. You have a great combination of ingredients. It doesn’t surprise me that you didn’t have a single crumb left over at your family reunion. It is delicious and healthy looking salad

  12. I love this salad! The added veggies & bacon are the crown atop the wedge drizzled with blue cheese. Thanks. This is always good with a burger, I find. Waaaay better then french fries!

  2. […] Trying to decide on a recipe from Debra’s blog will most likely be your most difficult task.  I know it was mine.   I do my best to try ad stick to the season at hand, this being our fall round, I decided that I would pin a bunch of her salad recipes to try, but I would refrain from sharing one of them today.  But JUST LOOK at this Iceberg Wedge Salad with Homemade Bleu Cheese Dressing!
