Awww, the classic wedge salad. It was part of dinner tonight and let me tell you, after eating it, there was no room for anything else! This simple salad has been around for ages. Served in fancy steak houses, extremely easy to make and very fulfilling. Usually topped with green onions, tomato, blue cheese dressing and bacon, iceberg lettuce never tasted so good!
