1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
2. While the bacon is cooking, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the red onion.
3. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce. Cut the head into quarters to create four wedges. For larger servings, you can cut each wedge in half to make eight smaller wedges.
4. Arrange the lettuce wedges on a large platter or individual plates.
5. Drizzle the ranch dressing evenly over each wedge, ensuring good coverage of the leaves.
6. Sprinkle the bacon, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, and red onion slices generously over the wedges.
7. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of freshness and color.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, flavorful, and easy-to-make Super Bowl Wedge salad!
