A Chopped Wedge Salad is a modern twist on the classic wedge salad. Instead of serving a large wedge of iceberg lettuce, the lettuce is chopped into bite-sized pieces for easier eating while keeping the signature flavors. Here’s what typically goes into it and how it’s served:
Ingredients:
- Iceberg lettuce – chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Bacon – crispy, crumbled
- Cherry tomatoes – halved or quartered
- Red onion – thinly sliced
- Blue cheese – crumbled
- Dressing – usually blue cheese or ranch
Optional Additions:
- Avocado slices
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Pickled onions
- Croutons
Assembly:
- Chop the iceberg lettuce into small, manageable pieces.
- Toss lightly with a little dressing, or serve the dressing on the side.
- Add toppings: bacon, tomatoes, onion, blue cheese, and any optional ingredients.
- Drizzle with additional dressing if desired.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispness.
The chopped version makes it easier to eat with a fork while still giving all the flavors of the classic wedge.
If you want, I can give you a restaurant-style recipe with exact measurements and a homemade blue cheese dressing—it’s surprisingly easy and tastes amazing. Do you want me to do that?
