    Classic wedge salad, on a kabob

    Wedge Salad has to be one of the most flavorful salads of all time.  It's such party in your mouth!  I thought it would be fun to come up with a fun and different way of enjoying this delicious salad, kabobs it is!

    How to Make Wedge Salad Kabobs Recipe:

    There are a few components that make a killer wedge salad.  The first one is crispy iceberg lettuce. To get the perfect lettuce for these kabobs, just cut the lettuce into 1" slices and then into 1" cubes.

    The next component is the bacon. Bacon makes everything better! I made the bacon a little extra special this time.  I sprinkled a little brown sugar on the bacon before it was cooked and made the most delicious candied bacon.  You can find the full recipe to the candied bacon here.

    There are so many different candied and flavored bacon recipes.  It would be fun to do one with a little spice for this salad too.

    I really love some thinly sliced red onion on my wedge salad too but I didn't add any on these Kabobs and I wish I would have.  Some minced onions sprinkled on the top would work great.

    If you've never made a balsamic reduction, you're missing out.  It's so easy and delicious to have on hand. I'll leave directions in the recipe card too.

    The next item on the kabobs is a creamy dressing.  There are a couple options here. You could do a creamy ranch and then sprinkle a few blue cheese crumbles or you could do a full blue cheese recipe.  I'll share my blue cheese dressing recipe at the bottom of this post.

    Next, all you need to do is gather your ingredients and assemble the kabobs.

    Wedge Salad Ingredients

    • 1 Head Iceburg lettuce

    • Red Onions, Minced

    • 1 Cup Sour Cream
    • 1 Cup Buttermilk

    • In a saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar and the sugar.  Simmer for a few minutes until some of the liquid evaporates and the glaze coats the back of a spoon.
