Wedge Salad

This is a classic recipe and a favourite for many, perfect to serve as a light meal or as a side dish for a summer BBQ. For those of you who have never had a wedge salad before, we’ll start by saying that a wedge salad is prepared with iceberg lettuce that is cut into quarters (wedges). Each wedge is served with a creamy dressing prepared with blue cheese, then normally topped with crispy bacon, diced tomatoes and onion, and sometimes also served with toasted nuts. For this wedge salad recipe, we used our delicious Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste to take our blue cheese dressing to the next level. What’s not to love about a touch of smokiness and the delicious taste of chipotle in the dressing! This iceberg wedge salad serves 4, but feel free to duplicate or triplicate according to how many guests you are hosting. Another way to serve this wedge salad is by chopping the iceberg lettuce into bite-size pieces, then serve on a platter topped with a good amount of dressing, bacon, tomato, and onion. You can use these different types of blue cheeses for your dressing: Roquefort – perhaps the most prestigious in the blue cheese family, it has a more pungent taste and is normally made of sheep’s milk. Gorgonzola – milder in flavor and softer in texture, it’s made of cow’s milk. Stilton – creamy, rich and mellow in flavor, it’s normally milder in taste than gorgonzola, and made of cow’s milk.
