Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Cut the iceberg lettuce into 8 wedges, halve the cherry tomatoes, and cook the bacon until crispy, then cut the cooked bacon slices in half.
Assemble Skewers: Thread one wedge of lettuce onto a wooden skewer, then add two cherry tomato halves, followed by a piece of bacon. Sprinkle some blue cheese crumbles over the skewered ingredients.
Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients on the skewer until it is full or you run out of components, ensuring a balanced combination on each skewer.
Add Dressing: Drizzle each assembled skewer with ranch or blue cheese dressing to add creaminess and extra flavor.
Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh chives or green onions on top of each skewer for a fresh, vibrant garnish.
Serve: Serve the wedge salad skewers immediately as a fresh appetizer or a side dish, enjoying the crisp textures and bold flavors.

Notes

Use sturdy wooden skewers to hold the ingredients securely.
Crisp bacon works best for texture contrast; cook until nicely crisp but not burnt.
Feel free to customize with other toppings such as sliced cucumbers or radishes for extra crunch.
These skewers are best served fresh to prevent lettuce from wilting or tomatoes from releasing too much juice.
For dairy-free options, substitute blue cheese and dressing with plant-based alternatives.
