Ingredients

1 head iceberg lettuce, quartered $1.84
½ cup blue cheese dressing (2-3 Tbsp of dressing per wedge) $0.59
1 cup halved grape tomatoes $1.76
¼ cup walnuts, chopped $0.84
8 strips cooked bacon, crumbled* $2.12
¼ cup red onion, diced $0.26
1 Tbsp fresh parsley $0.08
Salt and pepper, to taste $0.08

Instructions

Remove any wilted leaves from the outer layer of iceberg lettuce. Trim the brown end of the stem off, being careful to not trim too much or your wedge won’t hold together. Quarter the head of lettuce.
Top with the salad dressing first, followed by all other toppings divided equally between each wedge of lettuce. Add a sprinkle of salt and a few cranks of pepper to taste, and serve!

Notes

*Cooking your own bacon at home usually works out the most cost-effective over buying pre-cooked slices. I recommend using the oven or an air-fryer for extra crispy bacon that's easy to crumble.
