Lettuce Wedge Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 pound blue cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, sugar, garlic, and pepper in a bowl; blend using a hand mixer; chill until serving.
• Build the salad by placing 1 lettuce wedge on each of 8 plates. Drizzle equal amounts of dressing over each wedge. Scatter tomatoes, onion, and 1/2 pound blue cheese over each salad.

Steps:

• Place lettuce wedge on a salad plate. Add grape tomato halves and onion on top of wedge.
• Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, crumbled blue cheese and toasted pecan pieces.
• Dressing: Mix ingredients and allow to sit for 30 minutes or more for flavors to meld. Drizzle on top of salad.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, garlic powder and onion powder. Whisk the mixture together until smooth. Add the cheese and mix just until blended. Chill in an airtight container in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.
• Core and quarter each head of lettuce. Serve a generous dollop of dressing over each lettuce wedge and top with the bacon and tomato. Season with pepper.

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp, about 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel. Chop into small pieces.
• Arrange the chopped iceberg on a small platter, then sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and chopped bacon. Drizzle with the Italian Ranch Dressing and finish with the pepper.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Parmesan, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper and lemon zest and juice in a food processor. Process until well combined.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Place the bacon on the lined sheet tray. Sprinkle on the brown sugar and steak seasoning. Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool enough to touch, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic and honey, parsley and thyme. Season to taste. Add the onion and tomatoes. Let sit until the tomatoes are slightly darker in color and the onions have softened slightly, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Place the wedges on plates. Top each with the onion and tomato mixture and any remaining liquid. Drizzle the wedges with the blue cheese dressing and top with the crumbled blue cheese and the bacon pieces. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; remove bacon, drain on paper towels, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings in the skillet.
• Crumble bacon and set aside.
• Saute onion in hot drippings in skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
• Remove onions from heat; cool.
• Process buttermilk and the next 4 ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping a few times to scrape down sides.
• Stir in onion.
• Top each lettuce wedge with dressing; sprinkle with bacon.
• Garnish, if desired with a bit of shredded basil.
