Winter Wedge Salad

from Winter Wedge Salad with Roasted Cauliflower, the Week of February 26, 2012.
View the next recipe for this meal.

Wedge salad hardly deserves the reputation most salads have of being healthy & light. This supposed salad is best with a knife & fork and possibly another side of vegetables to balance the scrumptious dense toppings. We winterized it by eliminating the out of season tomatoes and topping it with dried cranberries & pecans. Get extra naughty and use the extra bacon grease too.

Ingredients

  • ½ head iceberg lettuce
  • 2 eggs, hard-boiled
  • 3 slices bacon, optional
  • ¼ cup pecan, optional
  • ½ cup cranberries
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1½ tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Preparation Instructions

Place the bacon in a skillet over medium-low heat. Sear for a few minutes. Flip over when the underside is crisp. After another 2-4 minutes remove and place on a bakers rack to drip & crisp up further. If you want extra bacon love in your salad, toss the cranberries & pecans into the bacon grease. Turn off the heat and toss in the fat.

While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, blue cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Taste. Adjust with more vinegar, salt or pepper as you prefer.

Peel the eggs and cut into quarters. Cut the iceberg lettuce into quarter wedges. Sprinkle on the cranberries, pecans, crumble on the bacon and drizzle everything with the blue cheese dressing. Place the eggs alongside.
