Modern Wedge Salad With Blue Cheese Ice Cream Recipes

MODERN WEDGE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• To prepare blue cheese ice cream, combine the blue cheese, vanilla ice cream, brown sugar, and hot sauce together in a medium bowl. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until frozen.
• Slice a1/4-inch off the bottom of each head of lettuce to allow it to sit flat like a bowl. Slice 1-inch off the top and remove the middle leaves of lettuce to create a bowl. Fill each 'bowl' with the blue cheese ice cream, diced tomatoes, and one strip of fried bacon.
• Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and cracked black pepper, to taste, in a small bowl and drizzle the dressing over the salad.

OUTBACK-STYLE BLUE CHEESE WEDGE SALAD

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.
