Ingredients

4 -6 slices bacon
8 ounces ranch dressing
1 -2 garlic clove, to taste, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 large head iceberg lettuce, cut into 4 wedges
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
shredded basil (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Combine dressing, garlic and basil in small bowl; stir well.
Top each lettuce wedge with dressing and sprinkle with bacon and blue cheese. Garnish with shredded basil, if desired.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp iceberg lettuce. Avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
To make the salad more substantial, add some cooked protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
The green goddess ranch dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To save time, you can use a pre-made ranch dressing. However, the homemade dressing is much more flavorful.

The iceberg wedge salad with green goddess ranch dressing is a classic American dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. The next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
