Chopped Wedge Salad is a fresh, modern take on the classic steakhouse wedge—same bold flavors, but easier to eat and perfect for sharing. Crisp iceberg lettuce is chopped into bite-sized pieces, then tossed with creamy dressing and hearty toppings so every forkful gets a little bit of everything.
The base is cold, crunchy iceberg lettuce, chopped rather than served in wedges. This keeps the salad light and refreshing while making it much more practical for everyday meals. The texture stays crisp and clean, which is key to a great wedge-style salad.
The toppings are where the character comes in. Juicy tomatoes, crispy bacon, and finely sliced red onion add color, saltiness, and contrast. Blue cheese crumbles are traditional, bringing that sharp, creamy bite, but feta or shredded cheddar work well too if you prefer something milder.
The dressing is rich and classic—usually blue cheese or ranch. It coats the chopped lettuce evenly instead of pooling on one wedge, giving consistent flavor in every bite. A little cracked black pepper or lemon juice brightens everything up.
Why this salad works is balance. You get crunch, creaminess, salt, and freshness all in one bowl. It feels indulgent like a steakhouse salad but still light enough to serve as a side or a simple lunch.
Serving ideas are versatile. Pair it with grilled chicken, steak, or burgers, or serve it on its own with warm bread. It’s also easy to customize with avocado, hard-boiled eggs, or cucumbers while keeping that classic wedge-salad soul intact.
This is a no-fuss, crowd-pleasing salad—cool, crisp, and full of familiar comfort flavors.
Enjoy !!!
