Instructions

Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook the bacon in a skillet until very crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Place the bacon bits in a small bowl and set aside until needed.
Cut the iceberg lettuce in half.
Cut each of the halves again in half to create the iconic “iceberg wedge.”
Cut the stem off the bottom of the wedge.
Place the wedges of iceberg lettuce on individual plates along with the cherry tomato halves and thinly sliced red onion.
Top the lettuce with a generous portion of bleu cheese dressing. Then add the bacon bits, bleu cheese crumbles, and chopped Italian parsley for a little extra color.

Notes

*You don’t have to use a whole head of lettuce. Cut it in half and save the rest of the lettuce for another salad or sandwiches.

*Make sure to keep the lettuce ice cold before serving if you prep the ingredients ahead of time.
