Look, Wedge Salads are delicious — thanks to a medley of crunchy iceberg lettuce, tangy blue cheese, salty bacon, and fresh juicy tomatoes. But — and this is a big but — they are super impractical to eat. You’re served a giant triangle of lettuce on a plate that’s topped with a lot of delicious things, but how do you get those delicious things into every bite? And furthermore, how do you even get it into your mouth without making a mess? It’s a classic and it’s an incredibly tasty combo of ingredients but I’ve always felt that the delivery left a lot to be desired.
But no matter, now we have this Chopped Wedge Salad. See, it has all of the flavor you know and love from a classic Wedge Salad, but it’s not served to you as a wedge at all. Instead, it’s allll bite-sized so you can enjoy every last delicious morsel with ease.
