Ingredients

• 1 head Iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 4 slices Cooked bacon
• 0.5 cup Crumbled blue cheese
• 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove any wilted outer leaves from the head of iceberg lettuce, then rinse thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut the iceberg lettuce into 4 equal wedges, starting at the core and slicing straight through. Remove the small, tough core from each wedge if desired.

Step 3

Place each wedge on a separate plate, cut-side up.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle them evenly over the wedges.

Step 5

Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and distribute it evenly across the wedges.

Step 6

Thinly slice the red onion and scatter it on top of the salad for an added layer of flavor and texture.

Step 7

Drizzle each wedge generously with blue cheese dressing, ensuring it seeps into the crevices of the lettuce.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the wedges, followed by freshly chopped chives.

Step 9

Season the wedges lightly with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a fork and knife for easy cutting and enjoyment.
