Use Blue Cheese Dip as Dressing
This easy blue cheese dip also can be used as a dressing for a classic wedge salad. Simple add an extra tablespoon of red wine vinegar or lemon juice to thin the dip into a more pourable dressing consistency.
To make the wedge salad, layer quartered romaine lettuce onto a plate and spoon on dressing. Top with your favorite toppings, including:
- Diced cucumber
- Diced red onion
- Halved cherry tomatoes
- Chopped hard-boiled eggs for protein
- Extra blue cheese crumbles
Other toppings that work well for wedge salad:
