Iceberg Wedge Salad is a type of American salad made with wedge shaped chunks of iceberg lettuce topped with blue cheese dressing and generous amounts of bacon. It’s not a boring salad like most others at it definitely has tons of flavours from the blue cheese, the bacon, mayonnaise and red onions what more can you ask for.

I am not exactly sure what can pair well with this as it’s already a heavy and tasty salad but when we had this a couple of times it was with a grilled fish and a simple steak, how about you do you have suggestions on where to pair this with? Let me know by commenting below.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, trimmed and quartered
  • 8 pcs streaky bacon, crispy fried then chopped
  • 50 g blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Place onions in a cup then pour vinegar to let it marinate.

  4. Drain the onions and remove excess liquid on tomatoes, set it aside.
  5. Arrange iceberg wedges in a plate then top with dressing, sprinkle onions, tomatoes, bacon and chives on top then serve.

    Yeah, despite its heavy nature, it’s a steakhouse favorite here in the US. You know how we are. 😉
