The traditional wedge salad has endured for good reason. Its crisp and crunchy texture is so refreshing. Like celery and cucumbers, iceberg lettuce is made of mostly water so you can fill up without feeling weighed down. Blue cheese and smoky bacon combine in a dressing that adds an indulgent element to this extraordinarily flavorful salad. Feel free to bulk this up with additional vegetables. You could add "croutons" of diced cucumber for even more crunch, some roasted red peppers for a bit of velvety sweetness, or a handful of canned chickpeas to punch up the protein. If you're packing this in a lunchbox, keep all the ingredients and dressing separately and then combine just before you're ready to dig in.
