A Salad that Will Wow the Guests
The wedge salad is mostly served at fancy restaurants, and it can be a showpiece when you put it on the table. Crisp iceberg lettuce, smoky bacon, and fresh vegetables come together with creamy homemade buttermilk ranch to make a dish that’s both rustic and refined. This version is scaled up to feed a group, making it perfect for dinner parties, barbecues, or any gathering where you want to “wow” your guests without spending hours in the kitchen.

Tips
For an elevated presentation, chill the salad in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve. Extra-cold, crisp lettuce makes the salad feel gourmet and ensures every bite is refreshing.
