Wedge Salad

A good salad to serve with grilled steaks. 

I prep all the ingredients beforehand

 so it takes just minutes to assemble.

If you don't have buttermilk, 

just add a little extra sour cream.
I've given measurements for the seasonings
to give an idea, but you can just eyeball it.
No need to measure seasonings

This will make 1 C of dressing and you

can easily double the recipe.

I mix it up in a jar so any extra can easily be stored 

in the refrigerator and I can make a quick 

wedge salad for lunch. Sometimes I top it with
a chopped hard boiled egg.

For a buffet, make mini wedge salads.
Just cut each wedge diagonally in half
 again and put on a platter and then dress.
Crisp and fresh!

Iceberg lettuce

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 tomato diced

1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese

Cut lettuce in half, then cut each half into 2 wedges. Slice out the core.

Put wedges on a large platter for serving or on individual plates. Spoon a little dressing over each wedge. Sprinkle with chopped tomato, crumbled bacon and shredded cheese.

Serve remaining dressing at the table. Serves 4

Buttermilk Dressing

1/2 C mayonnaise

1/4 C buttermilk

1/4 C sour cream

1/2 t garlic powder

1/2 t vinegar

Combine all ingredients in a jar.

*For a classic wedge salad with blue cheese 

dressing add 1/3 C crumbled blue cheese 

and omit the tomato, bacon, and cheddar. 

Enjoy!
