I remember my first wedge salad. It was a several years ago now, when I had no idea wedge salads were a ‘thing’.

That first one was a little different from my recipe today.

How do they differ, you ask? You can add whatever you want to your salads. That what makes it fun.

I add avocado. I use feta cheese instead of bleu cheese. And I dress mine with asiago peppercorn dressing instead of the usual blue cheese dressing.

I have to admit, I do like this version better. Mainly because, I find there is too much bleu cheese in the usual for my taste.

How to  make a wedge salad

Pre-step

Either fry the bacon until it’s crispy which takes around 8 minutes, or bake on a foil lined pan at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes on one side and 6 minutes on the other.

Step one

Gather the ingredients – tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, bacon, candied pecans and feta cheese.

Step two

Cut the head of iceberg lettuce in half. Since I’m only making three salads, I store the other half in the fridge.

Next, I cut the remaining iceberg half in half and then I cut one of the halves in half again.

How many times can I write the word, half?

Christopher got the full quarter and our niece Elizabeth and I shared the other quarters.

Step three

Here’s one of the quarters on a plate.

Step four

Cut up one of the tomatoes and sprinkle it over the wedges.

Step five

Next up is the bacon. Crumble as much bacon as you want over the salads.

All that is left is to pour on the dressing on top and eat the salad.

  1. Why do wedge salads remind me of 1978? I think that was probably when EVERYONE was making them… That said, they’re a classic for a reason and this looks so inviting!

  2. I love wedge salads! The added crunch of the lettuce is really satisfying! Thanks for the fun topping idea 🙂

  3. I’ve never had a wedge salad before, but I’m a knife and fork type girl and this really appeals to me. I’m a slow eater (much to my husband’s impatience) and I find that foods that I have to cut up slow me down more – allowing me to enjoy the flavor more! I can’t wait to try this!
