I like a chopped wedge salad! All of the traditional flavors of a wedge: iceberg, tomatoes, crispy bacon and chives with a beautiful blue cheese French dressing. Tremendous scrumptious and really easy to make!
Summer time salad time!
This chopped wedge salad has all of the flavors of a standard wedge salad, all chopped up and tossed in an unbelievable blue cheese dressing. It’s so crunchy and crisp.
Chopped salads are the salads that made me like salads. It’s the reality! There may be simply one thing about being about to get a chew of EVERYTHING on that one fork. It’s so satisfying. Chopped salads normally have a ton of texture and that is no completely different.
On the identical time, it’s tremendous easy. Iceberg, tomatoes, bacon, blue cheese. That’s actually it! Certain, now we have a dressing and a few contemporary herbs, however these are the large substances. The primary ones.
Now, I do know that the traditional wedge salad had creamy blue cheese dressing.
BUT. I don’t love creamy dressing to start with. And in the summertime, it simply appears means too… heavy and scorching.
It’s no secret that I would like some tangy, briney vinegar in my life. It’s my absolute favourite taste combo and selfmade salad dressings are my life.
So! I made my blue cheese French dressing for this as a substitute. It’s PERFECT. Oh my phrase.
Actually actually excellent.
To begin with, the dressing has blue cheese crumbles IN it, in order it will get shaked and blended up, it does tackle a barely creamy texture. Nearly like emulsified. Second, it has contemporary herbs, that are so good and refreshing in the summertime.
The French dressing retains the salad feeling somewhat lighter. It additionally retains the bacon crisp and the iceberg crisp as effectively! It’s not drenched in a creamy dressing which supplies it somewhat little bit of endurance. Plus – the flavour. Ohhhh the flavour.
I’m a nut and will most likely drink this dressing. No less than take a spoonful of it!
The great factor about this chopped salad is that you simply don’t should do a ton of labor to get these even sized items. The bacon is already in crumbles. The iceberg falls aside as you slice. The tomatoes are actually the one ingredient that takes some chopping work: quarter or halve them relying on their dimension.
Every part goes into one bowl, tossed within the dressing and increase! It’s finished.
On a brilliant scorching day, I may eat this for dinner. It’s an excellent BBQ salad. Additionally a superb aspect salad or a potluck dish – simply drizzle on the dressing proper earlier than serving.
P.S. the French dressing makes somewhat additional, and you should utilize it on EVERYTHING. Hen, steak, veggies, pasta salads, grilled bread – the works.
