Start by frying up about 6 slices of bacon. I usually dice the bacon before I fry it. Just remember to cook it slow and low.
Make a blue cheese dressing. You can make one from scratch or buy your favorite. I recommend having extra blue cheese either way.
Slice the veggies. Slice the grape tomatoes in half. Cut thin slices of red onion. And chop up the chives.
Slice the iceberg lettuce in quarters and place each wedge on a salad plate.
Add the blue cheese dressing. Top each wedge with about a quarter cup of blue cheese dressing.
Add the toppings for the wedge salad. Sprinkle with bacon. Add the tomatoes, onions, and chives.
Finish everything off with an extra sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese and fresh cracked black pepper.
