Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Remove the outer leaves of the iceberg lettuce, rinse under cold water, and dry thoroughly. Cut the head into quarters, creating wedges.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Chop the Tomatoes and Onion

    Halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion.

Dressing

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    On a serving plate, place one wedge of iceberg lettuce. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese crumbles. Drizzle with the dressing.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Repeat the assembly for the remaining wedges. Serve immediately.
