Wedge Salad with Shiitake Bacon & Blue Cheese Dressing
Most wedge salads contain bacon, but to really dial up the vegetables, we’ve swapped it with shiitake mushrooms roasted until just crisp.
Ingredients
Dressing
½ cup full-fat sour cream
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tsp coconut aminos
¼ tsp each garlic powder and ground black pepper
⅛ tsp sea salt
Bacon
8 oz shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
3 tbsp avocado oil
¼ tsp sea salt
Salad
1 head iceberg lettuce, quartered
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
Preparation
1. Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. Make bacon: Preheat oven to 400ºF; line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. In a large bowl, toss mushrooms, oil and salt. Spread on baking sheets in a single layer and roast until browned, stirring once or twice, switching baking sheets top to bottom, and removing pieces as they brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Make salad: Place an iceberg quarter on each of 4 plates. Top with tomatoes, dressing and shiitake bacon.
