Who doesn’t love a good wedge salad this time of year, especially one doozied up with slivers of summer vegetables, crumbles of smoky bacon and homemade blue cheese dressing? This salad is easy to assemble, fun to serve and it pairs well with all sorts of main courses, particularly grilled items. The dressing is one of my favorite creations. It’s pungent and creamy, and works just as well on spicy buffalo wings or with cold veggies. Enjoy.
