WEDGE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
A wedge salad gets the creamy treatment when topped with blue cheese dressing. Keep the dressing as a topper, or make it a dip for Buffalo wings. -Jenn Smith, East Providence, Rhode Island

OUTBACK-STYLE BLUE CHEESE WEDGE SALAD
Much like Outback's massive steaks and famous Bloomin' Onion, this wedge salad is huge: a quarter head of lettuce loaded with blue cheese dressing, bacon and a balsamic glaze. It's not exactly an Australian classic (in fact, the founders of the chain had never been to Australia before opening the first location), but fans don't seem to mind: The salad has been a hit since it appeared on the menu eight years ago.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, buttermilk and sugar in a small bowl. Stir in the blue cheese and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the sugar, balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a small nonstick skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and let cool.
- Make the salad: Divide the iceberg wedges among plates. Spoon the dressing on top, letting it run down the sides. Drizzle all over with some of the glaze, about 1 teaspoon per wedge (you will not need all the glaze). Top with the tomatoes, red onion, bacon and blue cheese.
RECIPE: CLASSIC WEDGE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE
Steps:
- Make the croutons: Heat the oven to 400°F. Cut the bread in medium to large cubes. Place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the oil evenly over the bread, tossing as you go. Make sure not to soak any one piece, as that will make for a soggy crouton or two and will keep the seasoning from sticking to the rest of them. (If you have an olive oil sprayer, that is ideal to get light oil coverage on all the bread.)
- Mix the thyme, white pepper, salt, and garlic together. Add this spice mix to the bread and toss to coat evenly. Spread the bread cubes in one layer on a baking pan and bake for 5 minutes. Toss the cubes, spread them out again, and return to the oven. Continue baking, stirring every 5 minutes, until the croutons are nicely browned. (Total baking time will vary depending on your oven and the type of bread you use.) Make sure to check frequently so the croutons don't burn.
- Remove the croutons from the oven and let cool. Croutons can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Make the dressing: Whisk all ingredients together until mixture is smooth and well-combined. This dressing can be made ahead and kept refrigerated until ready to use. If the dressing separates, whisk or shake to recombine.
- Cook the bacon: Spread the bacon strips on a baking sheet. Bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F for roughly 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar liberally over the hot bacon and place back in the oven for 3 to 5 more minutes or until the sugar has visibly "candied" the meat. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- The bacon can be made ahead and kept refrigerated, but warm it for a few minutes in the oven before serving.
- Assemble the salad: Cut the lettuce into two equal wedges and place on two plates. Pour enough dressing over the lettuce to get good coverage. Cut the tomato into wedges and distribute evenly between the two plates. Sprinkle the blue cheese over this and add the slivered onion, bacon or tofu, and croutons. Garnish with chives or parsley and enjoy immediately.
