Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl. It all depends on how big you want your wedge salad to be. Sometimes, I cut the quarters in half too. Then, rinse the halves under water to clean the salad leaves.Īfter they have dried out a bit, cut the halves in half which creates four quarters for your wedges. You want to cut so the knife runs along the stem of the lettuce. Take the iceberg lettuce and cut it in half. This saves loads of money when I can “dine-out” at home. And, sometimes, I am able to actually improve it. That’s how I roll folks, I find something I like at a restaurant and attempt to recreate it at home. Also, a squeeze bottle is helpful, but not mandatory. For the dressing, you need Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing and Kraft Classic Ranch Dressing. The salad dressing is over the top, and is very similar to Perry’s Steakhouse wedge salad dressing. For this salad, I use iceberg lettuce, bacon bits, green onions, and cherry tomatoes.
It’s that easy!įirst, get together all of the ingredients you will need. There are just a few ingredients and it takes just a few minutes to make. Today, I am going to show you how simple it is to make a delicious wedge salad. Along with the second reason, because they are so easy to make and with so few ingredients! Lettuce Get this Party Started! One reason is that they are so fresh and yummy. Luckily, the Cesar and Wedge salads are both favorites of mine. As I say, if they were “easy”, everyone would be making them! Ha, ha! My typical salads are much more complicated than these two salads. And then he will say, “How about a salad?”. Many times, my hubby will ask for me to “make something easy” to go along with our meal. With the exception of Cesar and Wedge Salads. So, because of his allergy, his once plentiful variety of salads while dining out has diminished greatly. (Or I definitely wouldn’t have tried such a stunt.) Thus, fortunately, he is still alive, and still loves me! Getting Back on Track Thank goodness it’s a slight allergic reaction and not a severe allergy. Yikes! In my defense, the man never ate vegetables until he married me, and believe me, it took years. I know this “for real”, because after he had a reaction the first time, I served him another salad with kale, without telling him. My Hubby, Todd Yep Folks, He is Allergic to Kale Initially, I thought he didn’t like kale because he was being an “anti-healthy” food critic. You see, he is actually allergic to kale. Unless you are my husband, Todd, a former salad lover while dining out. Also, everyone is putting kale in every salad made in restaurants these days. Some restaurant salads are good too, but they are packed with extra calories. But, mainly because they are always so fresh and delicious.
Partly because I don’t have to make them. All kinds of salads are made in my house.Įven though I make wonderful salads, I do, actually or so I have been told.
I love salads, wedge, Cesar, chicken, everything but the kitchen sink salads. If you're buying store-bought, we prefer the readily available Castello Danish Blue ($4.99, ), which has a nice balance of creamy and sharp notes.Jump to Recipe Who Wants a Fresh Salad? Me! Don’t You? Add a touch of lemon juice to balance the rich creamy dressing and mix in the crumbled blue cheese. If you don't have any buttermilk, fake it to make it: Thin out plain unsweetened yogurt (not strained or Greek) with a splash of milk or water (start with 1 tablespoon per 1/3 cup). For the dressing, store-bought mayo is mellowed by sour cream, and buttermilk brings fresh tang. Because the wedge is all about cool crunch, Sarah Carey, our editorial director of food, says, "I refrigerate the lettuce until just before serving, so I get cold, crisp greens in every bite." She adds that iceberg's subtle sweetness stands up well to creamy blue cheese dressing that further defines the wedge salad. There's a clue in the name! A crisp wedge of iceberg lettuce is the foundation of this classic steakhouse salad.
