How to Make BLT Wedge Salad

1. Cook the Bacon

Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the bacon to sizzle and gradually become crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even browning on both sides. This should take about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to cool for about 5 minutes.

2. Chop the Bacon

Once the bacon is perfectly crisp and cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board.

3. Prepare the Lettuce Wedges

Take the half head of iceberg lettuce and cut it into two wedges. Place each wedge on a separate plate, arranging them so they look appealing and easy to dress.

4. Dress the Lettuce Wedges

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of blue cheese salad dressing over each lettuce wedge.

5. Add Blue Cheese Crumbles

Sprinkle ¼ cup of blue cheese crumbles evenly over the two wedges.

6. Add Grape Tomatoes

Distribute the ½ cup of halved grape tomatoes over the wedges.

7. Top with Bacon

Top each wedge with the chopped bacon pieces.

8. Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp, flavorful creation!
