There’s nothing I hate more than ordering a Wedge Salad at a nice restaurant because I KNOW how inexpensive and easy it is to make at home! You might suggest, “Just don’t order it at a restaurant and make it at home, Jess,” but I have to confess that every time I see a wedge on any menu, I NEED IT. Wedge salads never disappoint; they’re cold, crunchy, and oh-so-hydrating. The flavor balance of the fresh ingredients with the ultra-rich and creamy blue cheese dressing and crispy bacon is the stuff dreams are made of.
Easy Recipe for Wedge Salad
If you’ve been avoiding restaurants to save money like me lately, you don’t have to go without good food—this wedge salad is perfection, and it’s super easy to make at home. It’s got all the nostalgic charm of a classic American steakhouse salad but without the steakhouse price tag. I love serving it as a crisp starter before a cozy dinner, but it’s hearty enough to shine as a side, too. Each salad wedge is topped with juicy grape tomatoes, crunchy walnuts, crispy bacon, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. And, of course, I can’t forget the rich, tangy homemade blue cheese dressing—it ties everything together in the most delicious way. My recipe serves 4, but it also makes great leftovers.
