You'll Love This Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

"If you're a blue cheese fan, you are gonna love this. Super easy to assemble, customize it any way you want, it tastes delicious - AND, you can serve it as a side salad or for dinner! What's not to love?" 😉 -Kori

Delicious

A classic wedge salad that everyone loves! Even my kids will eat it. If anyone balks at blue cheese dressing, substitute their favorite dressing! 🙂

Side Salad or Main Dish Recipe

Add diced chicken, and you've got a cobb salad. Actually, with the egg, bacon, and veggies, this can be a main dish salad. I love to chop up the ingredients ahead of time (store them separately) and take them for lunch! Iceberg lettuce keeps really well in a container.

Customize It

Mix and match your favorite veggies - there are no rules! You can even use a different, favorite dressing - or a different cheese (like more blue cheese?). So many options! 

Not Just A Keto Wedge Salad

This isn't just for keto followers—it's for everyone. You can make this healthy salad in whatever way suits your dietary needs.

Due to the healthy fat content, this is the perfect low-carb and keto wedge salad recipe. If you make our super easy blue cheese dressing recipe, no sugar is added, and it is homemade, healthy, and gluten-free.

Make it low-fat by using a low-fat or fat-free salad dressing, reducing the amount of cheese and bacon called for.

Ingredients Needed Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

Here's what you'll need to make this classic blue cheese wedge salad:

  • Iceberg Lettuce
  • Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing - make our absolutely delicious homemade blue cheese dressing - or buy a favorite store brand.
  • Cooked and Crumbled Bacon - bacon on any salad is a classic!
  • Blue Cheese Crumbles - blue cheese crumbles are perfect but any favorite such as shredded cheddar cheese would work too!
  • Chopped Tomato
  • Optional - use any other favorite salad ingredients such as chopped cucumber, eggs, chives, green onions, toasted nuts, croutons, etc.

For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!

Substitutions and Variations

  • Use any favorite salad dressing!
  • Top the wedge with your favorite salad toppings, including toasted nuts, croutons, and other vegetables such as diced cucumber, and sliced radish.
  • Turn it into a cobb salad by topping it with diced chicken and a hard-boiled egg.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make it low-fat by using or making the dressing with low-fat sour cream and fat-free half and half instead of cream.

How To Make Blue Cheese Wedge Salad

Here are the step-by-step instructions for making this blue cheese wedge salad:

Prep

Cook the bacon, drain and crumble.

Hard boil eggs (if using) and let cool. Once cool, peel and slice.

Chop all vegetables.

Halve a head of iceberg lettuce from top to bottom. Slice the half into four wedges.

Make the Salad Dressing

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

If the dressing thickens use cream, milk, or half and half until dressing reaches the desired consistency. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Store additional dressing in an air-tight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

What To Serve With Blue Cheese Wedge Salad

Here are a few ways to serve this blue cheese wedge salad:

  • Serve on individual plates or all on a single platter.
  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and freshly ground black pepper.

What to serve with it:

  • Grilled Pork Steak Recipe

Kori's Tips

  • Time-saver: Prep everything in advance and keep it in your fridge until ready to assemble. It makes a great make-ahead lunch option too!
  • It is best to assemble only what you plan to eat because once the dressing goes on top of the lettuce it will get mushy after storing.

FAQs

How many carbs in blue cheese wedge?

Is blue cheese keto friendly?

Yes, blue cheese is keto-friendly due to its low-carb and high fat content.

How to store blue cheese salad

It is best to make only what you plan to eat. Once assembled, the lettuce can become soggy. I recommend that you pre-prep all the ingredients, store what you need in the refrigerator, then assemble each wedge when you are ready to eat.

Hey there, I'm Kori.

I’m a culinary school trained chef specializing in holistic nutrition and wellness. I’ve always been a major foodie, and as I’ve aged, the full impact of my love of food—and not-necessarily-healthy eating habits—caught up to me. In an effort to make positive changes in my life (and hopefully yours, too), I created this website where I could share great-tasting, craveable, healthy recipes.
