In my opinion, iceberg lettuce gets a bad rap. I mean sure it’s supposed to be nearly nutritionally devoid, but yet it tastes so good. And it reminds me of my youth. As does romaine lettuce.
So iceberg lettuce clearly has its place and one of those places is in a wedge salad. This recipe pairs crisp wedges of iceberg lettuce with crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes and blue cheese crumbles. All of that jazz is topped with a creamy homemade blue cheese dressing. The best part is that when you throw all the ingredients together you have about the simplest dinner or starter salad you can imagine.
