Lettuce wedge salad is one of the easiest salads to make! It’s crunchy, smoky, juicy and so delicious with a rich, tangy sour cream dressing. Serve it on its own or as a side with a grilled steak or chicken. Both bacon and the dressing can be prepared one day ahead. Iceberg lettuce can be substituted with romaine lettuce.

Sour Cream DressingSalad
  • 150 g Sour cream
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tsp Finely grated lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 head Iceberg lettuce, cored and quartered
  • 2 tbsp Red sweet bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small bunch chives (or parsley), chopped
  • 100 g Bacon bits
  • Grape tomatoes, optional
  1. Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  2. In a skillet cook the bacon bits until crisp or to your liking.
  3. Core and cut the head of lettuce into 4 equal wedges. Transfer each wedge of lettuce together with a couple of grape tomatoes if using onto serving plates. Spoon over some sour cream dressing and sprinkle with finely chopped chives or parsley, diced sweet pepper and cooked bacon bits.

  10. I don't often use iceberg lettuce, but it shines in this dish! Love its crunch, and its flavor is mild enough to let the flavor of the toppings shine. Good stuff -- thanks.

  18. This is such a great recipe for a retro dish. I was thinking last night that I needed to create a creamy dressing with mayo (from a cucumber dish I've been making). I like your recipe and will use it for certain! Thanks!
