    Wedge Salad and Blue Cheese Dressing

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Blue cheese, you love it or you don't! (or so you think...) I was a blue cheese hater UNTIL I had it done right and became a lover. I truly believe anyone would be obsessed with it if they really had it made like I did. I've tried, tasted, tested and now have the perfect blue cheese dressing! Drench your wedge salad, dip your wings OR even your burger.

    How to make wedge salad and blue cheese dressing

    Blue Cheese Dressing

    Making blue cheese dressing is really simple. My best advice (besides following the recipe proportions) is to use quality ingredients. It makes all the difference when you're using great mayo, flavorful cheese and the best garlic sea salt.

    TIP: if you like your blue cheese dressing smooth place all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Otherwise just give it a good whisk all together.

    How to cut a wedge salad

    It's taken a few times to figure out the perfect way to cut the perfect wedge salad.

    Step 1: Purchase a nice, fresh crips and tight iceberg lettuce.

    Step 2: Pull off the loose, wilting outside leaves.

    Step 3: Find the core, or heart of the iceberg lettuce. Turn it to the bottom, so the whole head is resting on the core and hit it hard on a flat surface, like your counter top. This will crack/loosen the heart so you can pull it right out, leaving the entire head still in tack.

    Step 4: rinse the lettuce

    Step 5: Cut. Slice straight down the middle. If desired cut into 4ths.
