How to Make Pittsburgh Wedge Salad with Labneh Ranch Dressing

1. Marinate Potatoes

Place the Yukon potatoes in a large bowl with the pickle juice. Let them soak for at least 1 hour to marinate.

2. Bake Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Drain the marinated potatoes and transfer them to a sheet pan. Drizzle with canola oil, ensuring each potato is well-coated. Arrange them in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes and bake for an additional 10 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes until golden and crisp.

3. Assemble Salad

Place a wedge of iceberg lettuce on each plate. Generously ladle the Labneh Ranch Dressing over the lettuce. Arrange the cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onions around the lettuce. Add the baked potato wedges onto the plate and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese to finish.

Pitfalls and tips

Balanced Seasoning

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, as the creaminess of labneh can mute flavors.

Labneh's Role and Quality

Make labneh at home by straining full-fat Greek yogurt overnight for a richer, fresher taste.

Lettuce Handling

Core and thoroughly dry iceberg or romaine lettuce for a crisp base that the dressing can cling to without watering it down.

Herb Selection and Handling

Finely chop fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and chives with a sharp knife and consider adding freshly grated garlic or shallots for depth.

Advanced Prep

Prepare the dressing a day ahead to allow flavors to develop, stirring well before use.
