Wedge Salad
Wedge salad is one of the easiest salads to make! It’s light, refreshing, crunchy and most importantly ready in 10 minutes. Serve it on its own or as a side with steak or grilled meats.
Servings: 4
Calories: 266
Ingredients
- 1 Head Iceberg Lettuce , see note 1
- 1 cup Blue Cheese Dressing (250ml), see note 2
- 5 ounces Raw Pancetta (150g), see note 3
- ⅓ cup Blue Cheese , crumbled (35g)
- Fresh Chives to your Taste, finely chopped
Instructions
- In a skillet/frying pan cook the pancetta until to your liking.
- Meanwhile: Remove the outer leaves of lettuce and rinse it under runny water. Cut off the stem and cut the head into quarters.
- Transfer them onto individual plates. Pour over some blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with finely chopped chives, crumbled blue cheese and cooked pancetta.
Notes
- Iceberg lettuce can be substituted with romaine lettuce.
- I count with a quarter cup of dressing per person. This is based on my homemade blue cheese dressing recipe. You can use less or more and this will depend on your taste. Also, you can use a store-bought dressing, if you like.
- 5 ounces (150g) of raw pancetta yields about ½ cup cooked pancetta. I used pancetta because it was more convenient. You feel free to use any bacon you like.
- Because you are using blue cheese dressing in this recipe, and because blue cheese has a strong taste, I only used a little. Now you can adjust this to your liking.
- If you decide to use a store-bought dressing and already-cooked bacon, the prep time should not take longer than 4 minutes.
