Bacon Wedge Salad
Mother’s Day is here in just a few days and unless you live far away from her, the chance of seeing your Mom that day is pretty obvious! Some of you will cook a nice meal for her at home. Others will take her out to a nice restaurant. Whichever you decide on, I’m sure she’ll be very happy.
Of course if you invite her over for brunch or dinner, you’ll be making something special or preparing one of her favorite dishes. A dish that my mother enjoys a lot when we go out for brunch/lunch is a salad along with a nice glass of wine either Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay. From all the salads on the menu, if she sees a Bacon Wedge Salad, she’s sold! She loves her Blue cheese so it’s an obvious choice.
I love this Bacon Wedge Salad as well and have it often because I like its simplicity. It’s super-fast to make and I can enjoy it within 10 minutes. Like mother like daughter, I love the dressing and if you want to make your own like I do, here’s my amazing recipe… Blue Cheese Dressing!
Also let’s be honest… there’s bacon in it or should I say on it. Is there a dish that doesn’t taste great when bacon is an ingredient? Nooo!
It gives the salad that delicious smoky taste that makes a Bacon Wedge Salad so popular! Click here to find out the best way to cook bacon without the mess… Oven Baked Bacon • Best Way to Cook Bacon
Unfortunately this year, I won’t be able to make it back to Québec city for Mother’s Day therefore this simple but amazingly flavorful dish is dedicated to my Mom!
Bon Appétit and Happy Mother’s Day!
