Grilled BLT Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
Grilled BLT Wedge Salad with Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing. Everything you love about a BLT sandwich in salad form! Takes less than 20 minutes to throw together!
BLT’s are one of my favorite sandwiches. They are so simple and classic but always taste amazing. The crisp lettuce, the crunchy bacon and the fresh tomatoes always make the perfect combination.
I took it a step further and grilled the lettuce wedges to add a nice smokiness to the salad. I topped the wedges with a homemade creamy blue cheese dressing.
So simple yet so amazing.
These wedges are easy to whip up and make a wonderful appetizer or light dinner. You can even add some grilled chicken or steak to serve alongside.
To make the wedges simply cut the head of iceberg in half and cut both halfs in half again. You should end up with four large wedges. You could also make appetizer size portions and make 8 wedges instead of 4.
I added sour cream to the Blue Cheese Dressing for some tang and mayo to thicken it up. A squeeze of lemon juice adds a bit of tartness.
You can easily lighten up the Blue Cheese Dressing by using Greek yogurt instead of the mayonnaise or sour cream. Even substitute skim milk for the regular milk, and go a little easy on the blue cheese crumbles.
Store leftover blue cheese dressing in the fridge for up to a week and use it on salads, veggies or as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. This dressing is so much better than store bought!
