1
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the Lil' Gem lettuce heads thoroughly. Cut each head into quarters, ensuring that the core remains intact to hold the wedges together.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomato into small pieces, slice the cucumber thinly, and finely chop the red onion.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, place them on a paper towel to absorb excess grease, then chop them into small pieces.

4
Assemble the Wedge Salad
On each plate, place a wedge of lettuce. Top with diced tomato, cucumber slices, chopped red onion, and crispy bacon pieces.
5
Add Blue Cheese
Sprinkle a generous amount of blue cheese crumbles over each wedge.
6
Drizzle with Dressing
Choose your preferred dressing (blue cheese, 1000 island, or 50/50) and drizzle it over the salad just before serving.
