The Simple Balsamic Reduction needs to simmer and should be cooled to room temperature, the Creamy Bleu Cheese Dressing improves a bit as it sits, and then, of course, you have to cook the bacon.
Nothing you can buy for any price is going to compare to a homemade Bleu Cheese Dressing. If you love love love Bleu Cheese, add to your taste, the best one you can get. I picked up a Bleu Cheese at Aldi that I thought was lovely and creamy and just perfect in this dressing. Now THAT was a surprise! Blue Cheese is one of those items that can be picked up on the cheap or you can go as high end as you wish.
Do try to avoid those Blue Cheese Crumbles that are sold prepackaged at the store. I was surprised to find a nice, mild, creamy Blue Cheese at Aldi. Bacon is another potentially pricey item. I usually buy bacon around any holiday when it is so often at a low. Watch those sales and chuck it in the freezer. Tomatoes this time of year winter can be really iffy in both price and quality.
I spotted some the other day that were a dollar more per pound than the chuck roast on special! We are sorry. There was an error tyring to post your rating and review.

Toss to coat well; then place on a baking pan and cook in a preheated degree F oven for about minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
These can be kept in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for a few days. Whisk all ingredients together and keep stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 1 week. Add some chopped scallions to the lettuce in a salad bowl ; then add the prepared pecans and dressing.
Mix well, top with more crumbled Bleu Cheese and serve immediately. I used two bags of lettuce and this recipe is enough for servings as a side salad; or servings as a dinner salad.
I also had some roasted chicken leftover so I added it to the top of my salad. Love this salad myself and get the small version when I order my meal as a side salad. You can also get this same salad with steak but it is a lartger portion. I have also used a copycat recipe for the steak in which one of the secret ingredients is Corianderas part of the steak rub.
Now for the good news. I going to handmake this wonderful salad dressing at home and instead of making it. For the exact measurements for the wedge salad recipe, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post. If you've never had a wedge salad it's made from a head of iceberg lettuce, sliced into four to six wedges. The traditional dressing served with this salad is blue cheese, but you can top with your favorite - ranch dressing, balsamic dressing or a creamy vinaigrette.
Iceberg lettuce is is served in a wedge and it's best to use a sharp knife to slice it into bite size pieces at the table. Iceberg of course! I know many think it is a throw-away lettuce, but when it is fresh, the flavor is so bright! Yes, you can prep all of the ingredients - fry the bacon, drain and crumble.
Slice and dice the fresh vegetables, have everything prepped so you can slice the lettuce and top shortly before serving! Yes, you should wash the lettuce before serving. The best way is to remove any limp or brown outer leaves. Remove the core and run it under cold water.
Invert it so water can easily drain. A classic wedge salad recipe is a great make ahead salad because the lettuce doesn't wilt as readily as salad made with romaine or baby greens once it's dress. I've made it 2 hours ahead of time, topping it with salad dressing and all the fixings.
Covered and refrigerated it stayed fresh! Don't forget to top your salad with a touch of fresh ground black pepper and a healthy pinch of salt! That pinch of salt is the magic ingredient that explains why restaurant salads taste better. It's because they are well seasoned!
In a hurry? Use store-bought salad dressing. Extra blue cheese crumbles will make this salad even yummier!
