WEDGE SALADS WITH BACON AND BLUE CHEESE

Wedge Salads with Bacon and Blue Cheese image

We still order old-school wedge salads regularly when we eat out! The combo of cool crispy lettuce, smoky bacon and tangy blue cheese and tomatoes is kinda perfect. We wanted to do this dish one better by adding a hard-cooked egg for a little more protein and color.
