Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

We have been experimenting with new approaches to salads in the CafĂ© the past few weeks.  Here is a new salad to add to our repertoire.


Ingredients:

- Head of Iceberg Lettuce

- One Roma tomato, diced

- One slice, Red onion, diced

- Blue Cheese Crumbles

- Blue Cheese dressing

- Bacon Crumbles


Directions:

1.  Core the head of iceberg lettuce.  Slice out two wedges from the head of lettuce.  Wrap the remaining lettuce for a salad tomorrow.

2.  Mix the diced Roma tomato and the diced Red onion and set aside.  

3.  Place the wedge in a shallow bowl or small plate.  Sprinkle the Roma tomato and Red onion mixture over the wedge.  Sprinkle a tablespoon of blue cheese crumbles over the wedge.

4.  Pour Blue Cheese salad dressing over the wedge to taste.  Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of of the Bacon Crumbles over the wedge.

5.  Serve immediately.

Yield:  Two wedge salads


Cook's Notes:  You can use any salad dressing you like with this recipe.  I prefer Blue Cheese, but sometimes the missus uses Ranch dressing.  Since the wedges are prepared individually, it is easy to serve whatever dressing you want over the wedge.  Enjoy!
