Crisp iceberg lettuce wedges are coated with a tangy blue cheese dressing and sprinkled with crunchy bacon pieces.

• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins
• Yield: 4 wedges
• Serving Size: 1 wedge

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. (110g) thick-sliced bacon (about ¼ in.; .5cm thick)
• 4 oz. (110g) blue cheese, crumbled
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 1 TB. lemon juice
• ½ tsp. sea salt
• ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 head iceberg lettuce, quartered
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:
1 Slice bacon into ½-inch (1.25cm) squares. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.
2 Add bacon in an even layer on the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turning as needed, until all sides are crisp. Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel. Discard any bacon drippings left in the skillet.

4 Cut woody core off each lettuce wedge. Place wedges on 4 salad plates.
5 Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and top with crisp bacon and parsley to serve.
Tip: Many butcher shops will cut a thick slice of bacon if asked, or you can simply substitute the thickest cut you can find.
