\nWedge salad is usually literally a wedge of iceberg lettuce, but other lettuces work great in this deconstructed version. The traditional toppings for wedge salad are blue cheese, bacon, and tomatoes – the salad pictured includes bacon, croutons, and cherry tomatoes, because I had no cheese when I made it! so feel free to sub in what you like.<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong> Red French Dressing:<\/strong> Place the chopped shallots or other onion in a spouted 2-cup measuring pitcher or small jar. Add the vinegar, honey or sugar, and ketchup, and stir to combine. Pour in the oil in a steady stream while whisking, until smooth and emulsified. Season with salt & pepper, and taste by dipping in a leaf of your lettuce – your kids might want to help with this part. Adjust with more oil, vinegar, or salt & pepper if necessary.<\/p>\n Creamy Herb Dressing<\/strong> Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar and whisk until smooth. Season with salt & pepper to taste.<\/p>\n Assemble your salad: Arrange the lettuce on individual salad plates or a large platter. Drizzle the two dressings over in alternating stripes. Add the toppings, and a little more dressing if you like <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wedge salad is usually literally a wedge of iceberg lettuce, but other lettuces work great in this deconstructed version.
