The Ultimate BLT Wedge Salad made with crisp iceberg lettuce, crispy bacon, fresh cherry tomatoes, all drizzled with a creamy homemade ranch or blue cheese dressing. A drizzle of balsamic glaze puts it over the top! This is the easiest and most flavorful salad.
Whenever we get that special opportunity to go to a nice steakhouse, we always have to order the wedge salad. There is just something about the crisp, salty, and creamy combination that you even forget you are eating salad! I wanted to figure out how to create a steakhouse quality iceberg BLT wedge salad at home.
There is a local pizza joint right by our house called Local Eats and they serve an incredible wedge salad. They drizzle their wedge salad with a balsamic glaze and we have been hooked ever since. It’s optional but if you love balsamic vinegar, you will love a rich, thick balsamic glaze for a punch of flavor.
