ICEBERG WEDGE WITH BACON & BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Iceberg Wedge with Bacon & Blue Cheese Dressing image

This classic combo is back - and bacon makes it better than ever. So easy and elegant! I love this salad and I love blue cheese dressing. Add warm bacon...what could be better? This recipe from: Bon Appétit

Provided by Tammy T

Categories     Lettuce Salads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 c mayonnaise ( do not use light, it makes the dressing runny)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 c coarsely crumbled blue cheese
buttermilk (optional)
1/2 lb thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1 large head of iceberg lettuce, cut into 6 wedges, each with some core attached
1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Add blue cheese and stir until well blended. If too thick, thin with buttermilk by tablespoonfuls to desired consistency. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • 2. (Do not cook bacon until ready to use)** Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until golden brown and beginning to crisp. Arrange lettuce on plates. Spoon dressing over. Using slotted spoon, transfer warm bacon from skillet onto salads, dividing equally. Garnish with red onion.
  • 3. *** And if I have them, I will cup up cherry tomatoes and sprinkle some on top. Mmmmmm!

Tips:

  • Ensure your blue cheese is at room temperature before mixing the dressing. This will help it blend smoothly and create a creamy texture.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon provides a more substantial bite and smoky flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make a vegetarian version of the dressing, omit the bacon and add 1/2 cup of crumbled walnuts or pecans.
  • This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese and bacon are a classic combination that pairs perfectly with salads, vegetables, and grilled meats. This dressing is creamy, tangy, and smoky, with a bit of a kick from the cayenne pepper. It's sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
