Here’s a simple, tasty version of the Chopped Wedge Salad inspired by 12 Tomatoes—it keeps all the classic wedge flavors but makes them easier to eat:
🥗 Chopped Wedge Salad
Ingredients:
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp buttermilk (or regular milk)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, onion, bacon, and blue cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss gently.
- Serve immediately, or chill for 15–20 minutes for better flavor.
Tips:
- Add grilled chicken for a full meal
- Swap blue cheese for feta if you prefer milder flavor
- Keep dressing separate until serving to avoid sogginess
If you want, I can turn this into a keto-friendly version, a lighter (low-calorie) version, or a restaurant-style copycat with exact flavor tweaks.
