Wedge Salad

We've got delicious Jersey Legacy Iceberg Lettuce in, and what better way to show off a crisp head of iceberg than a traditional wedge salad. We have a new Wegmans Organic Blue Cheese Dressing, and this salad lets it shine.
This recipe is very similar to the Wegmans one, Iceberg Wedge with Blue Cheese

Many people think that Iceberg Lettuce is devoid of nutrients. While it may not be as nutrient dense as spinach or kale, it still provides some good stuff with very few calories. According to Organic Facts.net, "Iceberg lettuce is an excellent source of potassium and manganese, as well as a very good source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. It also contains traces of sodium, copper, and zinc." Its simple, crisp flavor lends itself to both heavy cream based dressings and light vinaigrettes.

Ingredients:
1 head Jersey Legacy Iceberg Lettuce, washed, spinned, and chopped
1 bag Hormel Black Label Real Bacon Pieces
1 organic red onion, washed and thinly sliced
Organic Radish bunch, washed, leaves cut off, and thinly sliced
1 bottle Wegmans Organic Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing
Optional:
Organic Creamery or Organic Valley Blue Cheese Crumbles

Tools needed:
Large sharp knife
Large cambro+lid
Small cambro+lid
Tongs for onion/radish
Optional mandolin for radish

In a small cambro have the onion and radish. In another larger cambro have the lettuce, chopped into small pieces. Keep the cheese (optional) in its container. Add dressing to the cups as you serve. Sprinkle the bacon pieces on top.

Merchandising:
In a 2 ft case: iceberg lettuce heads in right or left third of case. Radishes (just regular organic) in middle third of case. Cheese crumbles (optional) and dressing in left or right final third of case. I butted up a plastic divider to the side of the case, longer side vertical, to allow the dressing to slide down as customers took it and to keep it from falling over. Top of case: bacon crumbles. {My store doesn't carry the ones in a bag, but we do have the ones in a shaker container. Whichever one works just fine.} Optional next to you (unrefrigerated): more iceberg, bags of organic red onions, or more radishes.

Ask your coordinator if there are coupons for organic dressing.
