WEDGE SALAD WITH CRISPY BACON AND BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
Steps:
- Mash up 1/2 cup of the blue cheese in a bowl until smooth; add the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice and Dijon mustard and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the dressing is too thick for your taste, add a bit of buttermilk or water to thin down. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Lay the iceberg wedges on a platter or one on each individual plate.
- Top with a generous drizzle of dressing, then sprinkle with the cherry tomatoes and the remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese. Top each with strip of crispy bacon.
WEDGE SALAD
Wedge salads are essential steakhouse fare and have been for decades - "iceberg wedges, blue cheese, bacon" was Roger Sterling's order on "Mad Men" when he and Don Draper saved the Madison Square Garden account in Season 3, set in 1963. But there is no reason not to bring them home: Pale green-white triangles of commodity iceberg drizzled in pale white-blue dressing, with crumbles of bacon and bright red pops of cherry tomato, and pricks of green chive strewn across the top. Serve a wedge and a steak, or a wedge and a hamburger, or a wedge and a roast chicken, or just a wedge and a lot of warm bread and cold red wine, and it's a pleasant evening you're having, a retro delight. Wedge is a salad for pleasure.

Steps:
- Combine the tomatoes, shallots and vinegar in a small bowl, and shower with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp on both sides, then drain on a paper towel. Crumble when cool, and set aside.
- Make the dressing. Put half the cheese into a medium-size bowl, and mash with a whisk. Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, olive oil, hot sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce, then mash and whisk the dressing until it is mostly smooth. You may wish for a little more hot sauce, lemon juice or Worcestershire, to taste. Then whisk again, and set aside.
- Assemble the salad. Place one wedge of lettuce on each plate, and gently spoon dressing over it. Sprinkle each wedge with crumbled bacon, the dressed tomato halves, the remaining blue cheese and some minced chives.

SUNNY'S EASY WEDGE SALAD
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.
LAYERED BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND ICEBERG SALAD
What's better than a classic wedge? One that's stacked with all the usual suspects, plus some new friends. Carrots add just the right amount of color and root-veggie crunchiness. You can toss the salad with ranch or French dressing if you don't have blue cheese on hand.

Steps:
- Soak the onions in ice water for at least 20 minutes. Strain.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Remove, drain on paper towels and roughly chop.
- Whisk together the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
- Using a 3-quart straight-sided tall glass bowl for 1 large salad or four 16-ounce wide-mouth glass jars for 4 individual salads, make a layer with a third of the lettuce, then add the following in separate layers: the tomatoes, the olives, half the remaining lettuce, the carrots, the croutons, and the remaining lettuce. Sprinkle the top with the onions and bacon. (The salad can be put together, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.)
- If making 1 salad, just before serving, transfer it to a large bowl, toss with about half the dressing and season with salt and pepper. If making 4 salads, add dressing to each jar, season with salt and pepper, cover with the lid and shake to coat. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

ICEBERG WEDGE BLUE CHEESE BACON & TOMATO SALAD
I first tried a salad like this in a restaurant. I think my homemade version is much better. Hat's off to Luby for the outstanding recipe for Blue Cheese Dressing which is the only one I will eat now. I copied the recipe verbatim, and included all steps in making the dressing straight from Luby's recipe, #55514. This is my favorite salad in the summertime, reminds me of a BLT without the bread.
