This classic iceberg wedge salad offers a wonderful contrast of temperatures and textures, making it a sophisticated choice for a starter or a light lunch. The crisp, chilled lettuce provides a refreshing base for the rich, creamy blue cheese dressing, while the addition of warm, salty bacon adds a final touch of indulgence. It is a timeless dish that relies on simple, high-quality ingredients to deliver a bold punch of savoury flavour.
Ideal for hosting, the dressing can be prepared a day in advance and kept in the fridge, allowing you to assemble the dish in minutes. Serve it alongside grilled meats or enjoy it as a standalone dish with a crusty piece of sourdough. The combination of peppery seasoning and sharp red onion ensures every bite is perfectly balanced and thoroughly satisfying.
