Why Ordering A Wedge Salad At A Restaurant Is A Risky Move

While it's a steakhouse staple, the wedge salad is a befuddlement to many. The salad simply comes as a large hunk of iceberg lettuce on a plate drizzled in blue cheese dressing.

Since iceberg lettuce is rather flavorless, it acts mostly as a crisp base for the sparse diced tomatoes, chopped bacon, red onions, chopped chives, and toasted breadcrumbs.

Very little effort goes into making this salad, so it isn’t really worth the price. Rather than ordering one, save your money and make it at home.

When you make a wedge salad at home, you can make it top-notch by swapping out the iceberg lettuce for a more vibrant romaine and being generous with the toppings.
