Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

4 slices applewood-smoked bacon
1 large head iceberg lettuce, cored and sliced into 6 equal wedges
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 scallions, finely chopped

Steps:

For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set a rack on the baking sheet and lay the bacon on it in a single layer. Cook until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through. When cool enough to handle, chop coarsely.
For the ranch dressing: In a bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the buttermilk, sour cream, chives, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, salt, celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic and scallions and whisk together (or shake vigorously if using a jar).
Assembly: Lay a lettuce wedge on each of 6 salad plates. Drizzle each wedge with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing, letting it flow between the leaves of the lettuce and pool on the plate. Sprinkle over the tomatoes, onion and bacon. Garnish with the chives.
Any leftover dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

WEDGE SALAD

Wedge Salad image

Wedge salads are essential steakhouse fare and have been for decades - "iceberg wedges, blue cheese, bacon" was Roger Sterling's order on "Mad Men" when he and Don Draper saved the Madison Square Garden account in Season 3, set in 1963. But there is no reason not to bring them home: Pale green-white triangles of commodity iceberg drizzled in pale white-blue dressing, with crumbles of bacon and bright red pops of cherry tomato, and pricks of green chive strewn across the top. Serve a wedge and a steak, or a wedge and a hamburger, or a wedge and a roast chicken, or just a wedge and a lot of warm bread and cold red wine, and it's a pleasant evening you're having, a retro delight. Wedge is a salad for pleasure.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup cherry tomatoes, approximately 12 to 15, cut in half, about a half pint
1 small shallot, peeled and diced, approximately 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 thick slices bacon
8 ounces blue cheese, like Roquefort, crumbled
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 dash Worcestershire sauce, to taste
1 large head iceberg lettuce, the outer leaves removed, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons finely minced chives

Steps:

Combine the tomatoes, shallots and vinegar in a small bowl, and shower with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp on both sides, then drain on a paper towel. Crumble when cool, and set aside.
Make the dressing. Put half the cheese into a medium-size bowl, and mash with a whisk. Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, olive oil, hot sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce, then mash and whisk the dressing until it is mostly smooth. You may wish for a little more hot sauce, lemon juice or Worcestershire, to taste. Then whisk again, and set aside.
Assemble the salad. Place one wedge of lettuce on each plate, and gently spoon dressing over it. Sprinkle each wedge with crumbled bacon, the dressed tomato halves, the remaining blue cheese and some minced chives.
