With only a few ingredients, this Simple Wedge Salad will be a go-to meal, side dish, or appetizer! Topped with chunky blue cheese dressing, this is the best wedge salad!
Whenever we go out for dinner, my husband and I love sharing a wedge salad. They are so simple when you think about it – a chunk of lettuce, blue cheese, tomatoes, and usually bacon. We are vegetarians though, so we always leave off the bacon. The salad is so delicious and crisp, and the blue cheese really takes it to the next level. Most places make their own chunky blue cheese, and then add more blue cheese crumbles to the top, and that is what I prefer – the more cheese, the better. This Simple Wedge Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese is so easy to make at home, and it’s satisfying and delicious.
I recently made my own blue cheese at home, and let me tell you, it is SUCH a difference between store bought. The taste is much better, and it’s incredibly easy to make: Click here for the blue cheese dressing recipe. Serve this alongside a One Skillet Hamburger Casserole or delicious Air Fryer Scallops for a balanced meal!
Also, if you aren’t a vegetarian, and you would like bacon on this salad – just fry up some bacon and then crumble it over the top. I think this kind of salad could also be really good with plain shredded chicken. Anyway, make this for a main dish or appetizer – you can’t go wrong! Don't like blue cheese dressing?

You could also serve a delicious wedge salad with Homemade Poppyseed Dressing if you aren't feeling the blue cheese. It's creamy and majorly delicious!
