Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Remove the outer leaves of the iceberg lettuce and rinse the head under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut the head of lettuce into quarters to create wedges.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. After cooling, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Making Croutons

  1. 3

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread slices into cubes. In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, tossing halfway through.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Assemble the Wedge Salad

    On a serving plate, place a wedge of iceberg lettuce. Top with crumbled bacon, bleu cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Add a handful of homemade croutons on top. Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad to taste.
