Wedge Salad Ingredients

Method

Wedge Salad Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Start by rinsing the iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and watermelon radish under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Nueske's bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare Watermelon Radish

    Thinly slice the watermelon radish using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Chop Cherry Tomatoes

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble Lettuce Wedges

    Cut the iceberg lettuce head into quarters. Place each wedge on a plate as the base of your salad.

  6. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the chopped bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, toasted pepitas, crispy onions, and sliced watermelon radish over each lettuce wedge.

  7. 7

    Drizzle Dressing

    Generously drizzle the Thai basil dressing over the assembled salad wedges.

  8. 8

    Season Salad

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the salad is fresh and the bacon is crispy.
