WEDGE SALAD RECIPE - NYT COOKING

Wedge Salad Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Wedge salads are essential steakhouse fare and have been for decades – “iceberg wedges, blue cheese, bacon” was Roger Sterling’s order on “Mad Men” when he and Don Draper saved the Madison Square Garden account in Season 3, set in 1963. But there is no reason not to bring them home: Pale green-white triangles of commodity iceberg drizzled in pale white-blue dressing, with crumbles of bacon and bright red pops of cherry tomato, and pricks of green chive strewn across the top. Serve a wedge and a steak, or a wedge and a hamburger, or a wedge and a roast chicken, or just a wedge and a lot of warm bread and cold red wine, and it’s a pleasant evening you’re having, a retro delight. Wedge is a salad for pleasure.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup cherry tomatoes, approximately 12 to 15, cut in half, about a half pint
1 small shallot, peeled and diced, approximately 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 thick slices bacon
8 ounces blue cheese, like Roquefort, crumbled
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 dash Worcestershire sauce, to taste
1 large head iceberg lettuce, the outer leaves removed, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons finely minced chives

Steps:

Combine the tomatoes, shallots and vinegar in a small bowl, and shower with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp on both sides, then drain on a paper towel. Crumble when cool, and set aside.
Make the dressing. Put half the cheese into a medium-size bowl, and mash with a whisk. Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, olive oil, hot sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce, then mash and whisk the dressing until it is mostly smooth. You may wish for a little more hot sauce, lemon juice or Worcestershire, to taste. Then whisk again, and set aside.
Assemble the salad. Place one wedge of lettuce on each plate, and gently spoon dressing over it. Sprinkle each wedge with crumbled bacon, the dressed tomato halves, the remaining blue cheese and some minced chives.

OUTBACK-STYLE BLUE CHEESE WEDGE SALAD RECIPE | FOOD ...

Outback-Style Blue Cheese Wedge Salad Recipe | Food ... image

Much like Outback's massive steaks and famous Bloomin' Onion, this wedge salad is huge: a quarter head of lettuce loaded with blue cheese dressing, bacon and a balsamic glaze. It's not exactly an Australian classic (in fact, the founders of the chain had never been to Australia before opening the first location), but fans don't seem to mind: The salad has been a hit since it appeared on the menu eight years ago.

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons finely crumbled Danish blue cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 small head iceberg lettuce, trimmed and quartered
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 small red onion, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked and finely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely crumbled Danish blue cheese

Steps:

Make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, buttermilk and sugar in a small bowl. Stir in the blue cheese and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the sugar, balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a small nonstick skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and let cool.
Make the salad: Divide the iceberg wedges among plates. Spoon the dressing on top, letting it run down the sides. Drizzle all over with some of the glaze, about 1 teaspoon per wedge (you will not need all the glaze). Top with the tomatoes, red onion, bacon and blue cheese.
