Course: Appetizer, Salad, Side Dish
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chopped iceberg lettuce, approximately one head iceberg lettuce
  • ½ cup cooked, diced bacon, approximately 6 slices of cooked bacon
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ cup blue cheese dressing
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • ¼ cup diced red onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and chop the lettuce. Make sure it’s completely dry, then add it to a large bowl.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, red onions, half of the bacon, and half of the blue cheese crumbles to the bowl with the lettuce.
  • Add the blue cheese dressing and toss until the lettuce is evenly coated in the dressing.
  • Top the salad with the remaining bacon and blue cheese crumbles, as well as the chopped chives and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To make this salad in just 10 minutes, be sure to cook the bacon ahead of time. The bacon can be cooked up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
  • This salad will serve 2-3 people as a main dish, or 4-6 people as a side dish or appetizer.
  • If you want to make this salad vegetarian, without bacon, I recommending subbing walnuts for the bacon. It will give you a similar salty, crunchy addition to the salad.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free, using the ingredients shown and listed above.
