Ingredients
Salad
- 1 head head iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes diced
- 1 small red onion finely diced
- 8 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup bleu cheese dressing see notes for homemade recipe
- ½ cup crumbled bleu cheese optional
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cut the Lettuce: Begin by slicing the head of iceberg lettuce in half, then cut each half in half. You'll end up with four quarters, one quarter per salad.
- Clean the Lettuce: Dilute fruit/vegetable wash with water in a bowl as instructed on the bottle. Carefully lower the lettuce into the bowl and soak for a few seconds. Rinse the lettuce with cold water and pat gently with paper towels to dry.
- Assemble the Salad: Place each lettuce wedge on a plate, rounded side down. Drizzle each with blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with toppings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! You may also chill the assembled salads in the fridge for up to 30 minutes prior to servings.
