    Our take on a classic Wedge Salad, but finished with a generous sprinkle of the ever popular everything bagel seasoning! Our homemade ranch dressing along with the everything bagel seasoning really takes this classic salad to the next level! It's simple, delicious and so satisfying.

    We’re so excited about our Wedge Salad with Everything Bagel Seasoning! We both truly love a good, classic wedge salad and think our version is top notch.

    We douse each wedge with our delicious homemade ranch dressing and finish them off with a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning to give the salad even more flavor and CRUNCH! Our updated version of the classic salad recipe is so easy to whip up, takes no time at all and is crazy good!

    How to Make Our Wedge Salad Recipe

    Wedge Salad recipe ingredients.
    1. Place icebergs wedges onto individual plates or a platter.
    2. Drizzle with a generous amount of homemade buttermilk ranch dressing.

    Why Everything Bagel Seasoning is the Perfect Addition to a Wedge Salad

    Not only does the seasoning add such great flavor, which compliment the other components of the salad – it also adds the best CRUNCH to the dish that prides itself on it’s crunchy texture (from the iceberg!).

    We promise you will never want to go back once you’ve given your wedge salads a generous dusting of the seasoning!

    Variations for Our Wedge Salad Recipe

    We love wedge salads for their simplicity, but also enjoy changing it up whenever the mood strikes! Some of our favorite variations below:

    • Lighten things up by swapping the ranch dressing out for our Red Wine Vinaigrette!
    • Make it vegetarian friendly by swapping the chopped bacon for pan roasted chick peas or make a vegan bacon alternative. Jeanine from Love and Lemons has three different ways to make a meatless ‘bacon’ alternative and they’re all very delicious!
    • Swap the iceberg lettuce wedges out for romaine heart wedges! We love the crisp texture of iceberg in this salad and think that romaine lettuce is the only worth replacement.
    • Throw some diced avocado on top for a nice creamy addition!
    • Use our homemade blue cheese dressing instead of ranch dressing and finish the salad with some blue cheese crumbles, which is a bit more traditional for a wedge salad.
    • Add some more vegetables to bulk the salad up. We love adding some sliced cucumbers and radishes to the mix.

    Prep Ahead Instructions

    Although our recipe is super simple and best when made fresh, there are a few things you can prep ahead of time. Then when you’re ready to serve the wedges all you need to do is slice the tomatoes in half (we’re true believers of keeping fresh tomatoes at room temperature and not storing them in the refrigerator to maintain the best quality and flavor) and assemble the wedge salads.

    Our homemade ranch dressing can be made up to 5 days ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

    The red onions can be thinly sliced up to 3 days ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

    The cherry tomatoes can be sliced 1 day ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

    Cook bacon up to 3 days ahead of time. Store full strips of cooked bacon between pieces of parchment paper. Then transfer them into an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. To reheat, transfer bacon strips to a baking sheet and gently re-crisp in the oven at 375˚F for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and slightly cool before chopping.

    Some of Our Favorite Dishes to Serve with Our Wedge Salad

    • Seared Ribeye Over Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes – I always think of steak when I think of a wedge salad. I just feel like it’s a classic combination that equals a delicious, indulgent meal and never disappoints!
    • Spatchcock Chicken – I love a great roast chicken and our spatchcock chicken is very tasty and pairs well with a variety of side dishes/salads including this wedge!
    • Easy Roast Beef – Another beef recipe that is truly delicious served alongside our salad!
    • Shrimp Scampi – I love this very tasty and easy to make shrimp dish that swims in garlic butter. I think it matches incredibly well with the creamy, crisp salad!
    • Roasted Cauliflower – Sometimes it’s just nice to enjoy a couple side dishes together and I love this pairing very much. If you’re in the mood for just a little something extra to enjoy with your wedge salad, this simple and super flavorful roasted cauliflower is perfect!
