How To Make A Wedge Salad
Make a wedge salad! Make my blue cheese dressing, add bacon, tomatoes and avocado! I love wedge salads in the summer because they are cool, refreshing and easy. Wedge salad is a great side for a steak or just serve on its own for a light summer meal. Plus I wrote a song about wedge salad so you never forget how to make it!
