FAQs and Expert Tips

What is a classic wedge salad?

The basic wedge salad is a wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with bleu cheese dressing, bacon crumbles, tomato, and chives.

How do you cut a wedge salad?

Cut the wedge with a fork and a knife like you would a piece of meat. The toppings are drizzled on top so eat bite contains every topping and flavor combination. Some people like cutting up their entire wedge into bite-sized pieces and tossing the toppings with the lettuce, which is then a chopped salad.

Make ahead instructions

You can prepare the dressing a couple of days ahead of time and then store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
