1
Prepare the Iceberg Lettuce
Remove the outer leaves of the iceberg lettuce. Rinse the head under cold water to clean it thoroughly. Shake off excess water and place it on a cutting board.
2
Cut the Lettuce Wedge
Using a sharp knife, cut the iceberg lettuce head into quarters, creating four wedges. Place them on a serving plate.
3
Prepare the Roma Tomatoes
Wash the Roma tomatoes under cold water. Cut them into wedges or small slices, depending on your preference. Set aside.
4
Slice the Red Onions
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half moons. Set aside.
5
Cook the Smoked Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked bacon slices until crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb excess grease. Once cool, crumble the bacon.
6
Prepare the Bleu Cheese Dressing
In a mixing bowl, combine the cup of bleu cheese with a small amount of water, whisking until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

7
Assemble the Wedge Salad
On each wedge of iceberg lettuce, drizzle the house-made bleu cheese dressing generously. Top each wedge with sliced Roma tomatoes, red onion, crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of bleu cheese crumbles. Serve immediately.
