The Wedge Salad: Cheap, Easy and Lazy

11Mar2008 Filed under: Dinner, appetizers, salad, salads Author: Noelle dEstries

The wedge salad is a classic at steak houses and fine dining establishments. You’ll pay $8 dollars for it and truth be told, it’s probably the cheapest, laziest and easiest salad ever created by man.

Cut a head of iceberg lettuce in four sections. Add a slice to your plate with diced tomatoes and creamy blue cheese dressing, crispy bacon, red onions and sprinkle with crumbly blue. You really don’t need a recipe here, you can do no wrong.

It may not seem like anything special, but this a cool and refreshing treat. I have a newfound respect for iceberg and its blatant lack of nutritional value.

Creamy blue cheese dressing via Chow.com:

1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional)
