Instructions
- Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook the bacon in a skillet until very crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Place the bacon bits in a small bowl and set aside until needed.
- Cut the iceberg lettuce in half.
- Cut each of the halves again in half to create the iconic “iceberg wedge.”
- Cut the stem off the bottom of the wedge.
- Place the wedges of iceberg lettuce on individual plates along with the cherry tomato halves and thinly sliced red onion.
- Top the lettuce with a generous portion of bleu cheese dressing. Then add the bacon bits, bleu cheese crumbles, and chopped Italian parsley for a little extra color.
Notes
*You don’t have to use a whole head of lettuce. Cut it in half and save the rest of the lettuce for another salad or sandwiches.
*Make sure to keep the lettuce ice cold before serving if you prep the ingredients ahead of time.
