Wedge Salad Dip
Wedge Salad Dip is the perfect party appetizer filled with crumbled blue cheese, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, green onions and a homemade Greek yogurt ranch dip!
Wedge Salad Dip
There is a restaurant within walking distance of our house that is a cute little diner-type restaurant. The menu is simple with home-style classics such as coney hot dogs, meatloaf, breakfast items and more. One item on the menu that we really love is the wedge salad. We get it every time that we go! That's how I decided to give my favorite wedge salad a different take and create this wedge salad dip.
It is a wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with crumbled blue cheese, bacon, red onion, tomatoes and a blue cheese or ranch dressing. It is so good and we think that it looks so pretty.
I recently got the idea to make our favorite wedge salad into a dip and it turned out wonderfully. It would be awesome to eat while watching a game or to serve at a holiday party. I made the dip a little healthier than your typical dip by using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and using romaine lettuce instead of iceberg for a bit more nutrients.
This dip is served cold but probably would be great hot too if you left off the lettuce (or you could add it last minute after you baked it). It is really easy to make and will have guests reaching for seconds and thirds! If you are a vegetarian, you can skip the bacon. If you do not eat pork, you can use turkey bacon instead. Either way, you will love this healthier take on a dip!
