This easy wedge salad is a delicious first course or side dish to your dinner. It has all the classic elements: a crunchy iceberg lettuce wedge, creamy blue cheese dressing, and fresh cherry tomatoes, but this version gets lightened up a bit using turkey bacon. It also gets a slight peppery flavor from the watercress, which can be enhanced even more by topping with sliced fresh radishes. When choosing iceberg lettuce, look for heads with clean, fresh outer leaves and tight, compact inner leaves. Stay away from heads with wilted leaves. You can incorporate chopped fresh herbs into the dressing, if you like, such as fresh dill, basil, or thyme. Use a mix of yellow and red cherry tomatoes for a pretty presentation.
