ICEBERG WEDGES WITH CREAMY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Iceberg Wedges With Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing image

This is a simple and fantastic retro-diner salad that is based on a recipe from the January 2003 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Another rare recipe that my picky DH actually likes! I often serve this to compliment one of his BBQ's, and sometimes add tomato wedges, especially if I have some that are garden fresh.
