Lone Star Steakhouse? Lettuce Wedge Salad
Why waste time chopping up the lettuce when you can just
hack a head into four chunks, dress it up and serve? This
unique presentation is not only easy to make, but also a
deliciously different way to serve your next salad. The creamy
bleu cheese dressing is a cinch to make from scratch and tastes
much better than anything you'll buy in a store. Add a bit of
extra crumbled bleu over the top, some freshly diced tomatoes,
and you're well on your way to a fancy-pants side salad that'll
surely impress.
