Bacon Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
I ordered a wedge salad on one of my first dates back in the 1960s and felt very grown-up doing so. This satisfying salad fell out of fashion for many years but is now popping up on restaurant menus again.

Assembly
Cut 4 to 6 wedges from the lettuce. Place each wedge on a plate. Scatter tomatoes, red onion and bacon over each wedge.
Top with Blue Cheese Dressing. Season with pepper to taste.
Wine and Spirits Match
A sleek and acidic Sauvignon Blanc would pair well with this salad. Try a Sancerre or Pouilly-Fume from the Loire Valley.
