STEAKHOUSE WEDGE SALAD
The classic wedge salad gets an upgrade thanks to meaty, crispy slab bacon lardons and cherry tomatoes warmed in bacon fat until slightly softened and full of flavor.

Steps:
- Make the blue cheese dressing: Stir together the grated garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl to form a garlic paste. Add the half-and-half, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup of the blue cheese and whisk until smooth. Gently stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese and season with pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the salad: Put the oil and bacon in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it starts to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden and crispy, stirring often, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Return the skillet with the bacon fat to the stove and decrease the heat to low. Add the smashed garlic clove and more oil if necessary and cook for 1 minute to infuse the oil. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, shaking the pan often, until slightly softened and a few of the skins are split, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the bacon back in to keep it warm.
- Put the iceberg wedges on a large serving platter and top with the scallions and tomatoes. Spoon the dressing on top, letting it run down the sides. Finish with the bacon.
OUTBACK-STYLE BLUE CHEESE WEDGE SALAD
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.

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.
STEAKHOUSE STYLE WEDGE SALAD
Some steakhouse wedge salads are very simple and are just topped with blue cheese dressing and bacon. I went the extra mile. My wedge salad is topped with maple toasted walnuts, thick cut bacon, grape tomatoes, caramelized shallots, and homemade chunky blue cheese dressing. The end result is an irresistible wedge salad that your family will love.

Steps:
- Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Place the bacon on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, and bake until crispy. This will take about 15 minutes. Place the bacon on a paper towel to blot any excess grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, prepare the shallots and walnuts. Slice the shallots without making them too thin. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the shallot. Season with salt, and let saute for 1 minute. Then add the white wine, and let saute for about 5-6 minutes, until the white wine has been absorbed and the shallots have a light golden color. Set aside.
- Rinse the lettuce, and then slice it into four evenly sized wedges. Place on a towel to soak up any excess water.
- To toast the walnuts, melt a teaspoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts add the walnuts and toss in the butter. Add the maple syrup and a sprinkle of salt, and stir. Let the walnuts cook for about 2 minutes, until they start to smell toasted.
- Now that the bacon, shallots, and walnuts are ready it is time to assemble the salads. Place the wedges of lettuce on plates. Spoon blue cheese dressing over the wedges. Chop or crumble the bacon and add it on top of the wedge. Then add the tomatoes, shallots, walnuts, and crumbled blue cheese. Serve immediately.
WEDGE SALAD
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.

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.
