Ingredients

• 1 head Iceberg lettuce
• 0.5 cup Bleu cheese dressing
• 0.25 cup Bleu cheese crumbles
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 4 slices Cooked bacon
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove any wilted outer leaves from the head of iceberg lettuce. Cut the head into four equal wedges and rinse each wedge under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 2

Place each lettuce wedge on a chilled serving plate, with the cut-side facing up and the point facing outward.

Step 3

Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of bleu cheese dressing over each wedge, letting it cascade down the sides.

Step 4

Sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles evenly across each wedge for added texture and flavor.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over and around each wedge.

Step 6

Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-size pieces and distribute them evenly over the wedges.

Step 7

Finely chop the chives and garnish each wedge with a sprinkling of fresh chives.

Step 8

Season lightly with salt and black pepper to taste for an extra pop of flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and cold. Enjoy!
