Classic Wedge

What can I say about the wedge.  I first starting having this salad when I was a teenager and went to go out to a local restaurant in Huntington, NY with my family.    I couldn’t wait to order it.  The wedge with blue cheese dressing is good, but when you add the bacon, it takes it over the top. 

Ingredients
Iceberg Lettuce
Bacon – 3 pieces per wedge
Blue cheese Crumbles

 

Blue Cheese Dressing
3/4 Cup Sour Cream
1 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp Dry Mustard
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Salt
½ Tsp Black Pepper
4 oz Blue Cheese Crumbles
Instructions
Remove the dark outer leaves of the lettuce.  Cut into wedges.  Remove the core.  Cook the bacon until it is crispy.  Set aside to cool.  Crumble when cool.

Dressing

In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce.  Mix well. Add the mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir until completely combined.  Add the blue cheese crumbles lightly toss.  Put one wedge on each plate put a spoon of dressing and top with bacon and blue cheese crumbles.
