Important Recipe Notes
- Use cold iceberg lettuce so the wedges stay crisp.
- Pat the lettuce dry after cutting to help the dressing stick better.
- You can use store-bought bacon pieces to save time, or cook fresh bacon if you prefer.
- Thousand Island dressing works great, but you can swap in ranch or blue cheese if that’s what you have.
- Add toppings right before serving so the lettuce doesn’t get soggy.
