Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 0.5 cup Bleu cheese dressing
- 0.25 cup Bleu cheese crumbles
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the head of iceberg lettuce. Cut the head into four equal wedges and rinse each wedge under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Place each lettuce wedge on a chilled serving plate, with the cut-side facing up and the point facing outward.
Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of bleu cheese dressing over each wedge, letting it cascade down the sides.
Sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles evenly across each wedge for added texture and flavor.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over and around each wedge.
Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-size pieces and distribute them evenly over the wedges.
Finely chop the chives and garnish each wedge with a sprinkling of fresh chives.
Season lightly with salt and black pepper to taste for an extra pop of flavor.
Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and cold. Enjoy!
