Steps:
- First make the homemade blue cheese dressing, unless you're going to use a bottled blue cheese dressing. I know you're going to love this one though- give it a try!
- Add the walnuts to a pan over medium-high heat. Toast for a minute or two. When the become fragrant, it's time to add in the butter and pinch of salt.
- Let the butter melt and then stir occasionally until the butter browns. If the pan starts to smoke, remove from the heat immediately and allow to cool, stirring constantly.
- Set aside to cool.
- Core the lettuce head (suggestion on how to do this easily listed above in the post), and slice in half, then into wedges.
- Add each wedge to a plate. Add the tomatoes to each plate.
- Cover the wedges with some blue cheese dressing. The dressing acts as the glue to keep the toppings stuck to the salad.
- Top with the walnuts, shallots, chopped bacon and crumbed blue cheese.
- Admire your work and dig in. Happy eating!

Steps:
- Remove outer leaves of lettuce and wash thoroughly in cold water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels then split into wedges and arrange on plates. Scatter grape tomato halves over and around the lettuce.
- Make dressing by combining mayonnaise and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, fold in blue cheese and chives and season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over wedge and grape tomatoes. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and top with chives.

Steps:

Stir in the egg and bacon and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over the top of the iceberg wedges and serve immediately.
THE ULTIMATE WEDGE SALAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Set out a medium mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well. Then mix in the crumbled blue cheese. Cover and chill until ready to use. (If possible, make a day ahead, or early in the day, so the blue cheese has time to permeate the dressing.)
- Cook the Bacon: Set a skillet over medium heat. Place the chopped bacon in the skillet. Brown the bacon for 4-6 minutes until crispy, stirring regularly. Then scoop the bacon out of the skillet onto a paper towel lined plate to drain off the grease.
- Slice the tomatoes in half and chop the scallions. Then set the head of lettuce on the cutting board. Trim the root/core end a little. Cut the head in half, through the core. (This helps hold the wedges together.) Then cut each half in two, through the core.
- Set each lettuce wedge on a plate. Drizzle with a generous amount of blue cheese dressing. (At least ¼ cup per salad.) Then sprinkle the tops with halved tomatoes, scallions, bacon, and more blue cheese crumbles. Finish each salad plate off with a bit of fresh cracked pepper. Serve cold.

Steps:
