Steakhouse Wedge Salad

Cultural Context

Originating in American steakhouses, the Wedge Salad is a classic starter that showcases crisp iceberg lettuce and rich toppings. Traditionally served as a refreshing contrast to hearty meat dishes, it has become a staple in casual dining and upscale restaurants alike. Today, variations abound, with different dressings and toppings reflecting local tastes and seasonal ingredients.

¼ cup chopped onion
2 minced cloves of garlic
¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped
Pinch each of salt and pepper
4 oz block of blue cheese

blue cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Feta is lower in fat and cream cheese is more affordable.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pancetta

Turkey bacon is leaner, while pancetta is often less expensive.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt is healthier and can mimic buttermilk's tang.

iceberg lettuce

💰Cheaper: green leaf lettuce

Romaine offers more nutrients, while green leaf is often cheaper.

1

Prepare the blue cheese dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, white wine vinegar, chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Crumble in the blue cheese and mix well.

2

Chill the blue cheese dressing in the refrigerator.

3

While the dressing chills, prepare the salad by cutting the head of iceberg lettuce into wedges.

4

Cook the thick sliced bacon until crispy and crumble it over the salad.

5

Assemble the salad by placing the lettuce wedges on a plate, topping with cherry tomatoes and red onion, and drizzling with the blue cheese dressing.
