Wedge Salad

 

I love how this speaks for itself but the Wedge Salad is delicious.  Have fun with your own fav combos and mix it up to your fav mix in's.  Base below:

serves 8 generous wedges

2 heads iceberg lettuce

12 slices bacon, crisp cooked and halved or broken into bits (I like to cook bacon in the oven (pan 400 place bacon down on foil lined pan side by side and back 18-21 min or until crisp. drain well on paper towels).

6 carrots Thinly biased sliced

4 green onions / or a red onion small pieces

radishes, sliced/chopped (optional)

blue cheese crumbles (buy at the store)

dressing: as follows or use chunky lighthouse blue cheese

1/2 cup olive oil or salad oil such as a canoloa

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

6 gloves mashed

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper

1. Trim stem from lettuce while leaving the core intact.  Cut lettuce in quarters then place the wedges on individual serving plates.  Arrange bacon, carrots, green onions, and radishes on and around each wedge.

2. In a screw-top jar combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper, Cover tightly and shake until combined.  Immediately drizzle over salad.
