Soups & Salads

Classic Wedge Salad

Flavorful
Description

Wedge salads are one of those funny things that are very simple to make, using only 6 ingredients, but look amazingly impressive. Tell me you haven’t nudged your fellow diners when a towering plate of blue cheese and iceberg floats by at a fancy steakhouse.

Ingredients
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 1 cup blue cheese dressing
  • 3/4 cup grape tomatoes , halved or quartered
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/2 cup bacon , crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chives , chopped
  • maldon sea salt , to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper , to taste
Directions
  1. Remove any unsightly leaves of lettuce from the outside of the head, then chop into quarters. Leaving the base intact will help keep the leaves intact while serving, so I do not cut this off.
  2. Place one quarter on each plate. Spoon dressing evenly over each quarter.
  3. Evenly divide a top with the grape tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, bacon and chives.
  4. Finish with Maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. If you’ve tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.

Edna Lewis & Scott Peacock s Shrimp Grits

Like many of the recipes in The Gift of Southern Cooking| New Window, this recipe is a little bit Scott Peacock and a little bit Edna Lewis. Stirred through the creamy grits, the shrimp paste goes further than a few pretty prawns piled on top ever could, pervading every spoonful with the pure essence of shrimp at its best and most seductive. The shrimp paste also makes a lovely spread for crackers and all-purpose flavor enhancer (just imagine stirring it into risotto, saucing fish, or filling tea sandwiches with it).
