A classic wedge salad with healthier homemade blue cheese dressing.
Blue cheese is one of those polarizing foods that people either love or hate. I am definitely on #teambluecheese.
I hope you are too, because today I’m sharing a recipe for super easy, healthier homemade blue cheese dressing made with siggi’s yogurt. And what better to put it on than a delicious wedge salad?
I first made this dressing out of necessity when Mr. Table and I had friends over for dinner on evening. We had planned to make wedge salads, but I forgot the blue cheese dressing at this store (oops). We rarely buy pre-made dressings, but blue cheese was always one that I bought. Luckily I always have some plain siggi’s on hand, so I whisked together a few ingredients to make a delicious blue cheese dressing. It was so easy. I’ll never go back to store-bought blue cheese again!
You can’t make a healthier homemade blue cheese dressing without wanting a wedge salad, right? Crisp iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and just a touch of bacon all complement this dressing beautifully. It’s the perfect salad to go with a steak and a glass of red wine for date night!
The salad part is less of a recipe and more like guidelines, so if you like pecans or avocado on your wedge, go for it! If you prefer classic, plain and simple, that’s cool too. The most important part is obviously the glorious blue cheese dressing!
Do you love blue cheese or hate it?
This recipe is an entry into a contest hosted by siggi’s. I was not compensated for my time.
