Step-by-Step Instructions for Wedge Salad Skewers
  1. Begin by washing the iceberg lettuce thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice it into 1-inch wedges, ensuring each piece is sturdy enough for skewering.
  2. Cut the cooked bacon into halves so that each piece will easily fit between the other ingredients.
  3. Take a toothpick or a mini skewer and begin threading your Wedge Salad Skewers, starting with one wedge of iceberg lettuce, a piece of halved bacon, and a grape tomato.
  4. Arrange the assembled skewers artistically on a platter in a circular or star-shaped layout for a fun presentation.
  5. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of blue cheese dressing over each skewer just before serving.
  6. Store the skewers in a chilled container with ice until it’s time to serve to retain their freshness and crunch.
