Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce. Using a sharp knife, cut the head of lettuce into four equal wedges. Cut off the core from each wedge so it sits flat on a plate.
Wash the wedges under cold running water to remove any debris between layers. Pat the wedges dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Chop the cooked bacon into small bite-sized pieces or crumble it using your hands.
Place each wedge of lettuce on a serving plate. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of dressing over each wedge, letting it cascade down the sides.
Top the wedges with halved cherry tomatoes, bacon crumbles, and blue cheese.
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them evenly over the salads for a fresh garnish.
Season each wedge with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately with a knife and fork, and enjoy!
