Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 strips of thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 small head of iceberg lettuce, outer leaves removed, head quartered through the core
Vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp but still slightly chewy, about 5 minutes. (You could do this in a cast-iron skillet right over the grill).

  • Brush the cut sides of the iceberg wedges with oil and season with salt. Grill over moderately high heat until the edges are browned and grill marks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn to brown the other cut side, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Transfer the wedges to a platter and drizzle with half of the dressing. Sprinkle with the bacon and serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table.

WEDGE SALAD



Wedge Salad image

The beauty of a wedge salad is in its simplicity, and this modernized recipe amplifies each element of the steak-house starter to cool, crunchy, super-satisfying effect. This summer, dig into crisp lettuce, sweet tomatoes, savory bacon, and tangy blue-cheese dressing.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces mild blue cheese, such as Danish, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (we like Hellmann's)
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces bacon (6 to 7 slices; we like Smithfield), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, or 1 beefsteak tomato (8 ounces)
1 head iceberg lettuce, rinsed, outer leaves removed

Steps:

  • Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and chives, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (and up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to really meld.
  • Place bacon in a medium heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve bacon fat for another use (it's delicious for pan-frying hash browns), or discard.
  • Halve cherry tomatoes (if using beefsteak, halve and squeeze out some seeds beforehand, so it's not watery, then cut into bite-size pieces). Season with salt and pepper; let stand 5 minutes. Cut lettuce through its core into 4 wedges; place each one on a plate. Spoon dressing on top and sprinkle with bacon, tomatoes, remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese, and more chives.

ICEBERG WEDGES WITH BACON AND BUTTERMILK DRESSING



Iceberg Wedges With Bacon and Buttermilk Dressing image

"This salad from Thomas Keller's family-style restaurant, Ad Hoc, in Yountville, California, is a twist on the quintessential American combination of iceberg lettuce, tomato wedges and packaged bacon bits with a mayonnaise dressing. Only the iceberg lettuce wedges stay the same: The tomatoes are oven-roasted, the bacon is cut extra thick and the buttermilk dressing is spiked with chives, mint and parsley." This salad still is one of my favorites and this take on it is delicious! Food & Wine Magazine, October 2007 edition, Entertaining Napa Style. Have not allowed for cooling or chilling time.
