Wedge Salad
This is one of our favorite salads in the summer. Cool crisp lettuce playing against the sweet tomatoes, salty bacon, and creamy buttermilk dressing.
Ingredients
2 little gem head lettuce
4 oz bacon
1 pint cherry or juliette tomatoes
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
Method
- Cut the lettuce into quarters and wash, getting between the leaves and the stalk to loosen the dirt
- Allow to dry cut side down to allow the water to drip away
- Cut the bacon into 1/4" strips and cook until crispy
- Mince the garlic and combine with the buttermilk, olive oil, and a big pinch of salt
- Halve the tomatoes
- Place the dry lettuces on a serving platter and season with salt and pepper
- Drizzle with the buttermilk dressing
- Scatter the crispy bacon and cut tomatoes all over and serve
