THE DAZZLING WEDGE SALAD

The Dazzling Wedge Salad image

Stand up and take notice, The Wedge Salad can be a beautiful thing; a show stopper of a meal! I love eating the Iceberg lettuce sometimes instead of the dark greens. It is a comforting salad that I enjoy loading up with my favorite toppings and making it a "masterpiece of love". The addition of bacon buttermilk dressing topped with balsamic glaze gives a pop of flavor too! The Iceberg lettuce has got a bum deal lately but it still has vitamins and if full of water, which we all know is good for us. Try it out with your favorite toppings & you'll need a fork and knife for this one.

Ingredients

1/4 slice(s) iceberg lettuce head
1/4 cup(s) black olives, sliced
1 large hard boiled egg, sliced both ways or chopped
1- 2 - green onions, chopped
1 - 2 slice(s) cooked bacon, crumbled
2 - 3 ounce(s) finely grated shredded cheese, your favorite
- bacon buttermilk, ranch or blue cheese dressing
2 small drizzle of balsamic glaze on top
1 small handful of chopped parsley, chervil or your favorite herb
1 - 2 tablespoon(s) panko bread crumbs, italian (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Cut up your wedge and lay down on your plate with the inside facing up so all the dressing and good stuff gets wedged down inside. The first thing I put on is some buttermilk ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing and then start putting all the toppings leaving the bacon and herbs for last. I then drizzle a little more dressing and then top with a drizzle of the balsalmic glaze all over. Your are ready to eat. Yumm!!!
