Good friends of ours recently packed their entire lives into boxes and bags and moved to paradise. Literally. Named one of “nature’s little secrets” by the BVI Tourism Board, Virgin Gorda is now home to a wonderful family we miss already! We had our good-bye celebration at a local fish place, Fish 101. Fish 101 is an order-at-the-bar, find-your-own-seat kind of place: casual and fiercely guarded by locals. They’re on top of the whole gluten-free thing, too.
Even though I’d ordered a Caesar, the served plunked this baby in front of me instead. Bacon, creamy blue cheese dressing … what’s not to love? I’d devoured half of it before my friend’s husband pointed out, “Um, I think you’re eating my salad.” I gamely offered up my Caesar, which had arrived by this point, but he wasn’t having any of it.
Turns out, a great wedge salad beats a great Caesar any day of the week.
I’m going to try my hand at recreating this at home with one of these recipes:
- Green salad with blue cheese dressing from Ina Garten
- Iceberg wedge from Smitten Kitchen
- Iceberg wedges with buttermilk dressing
Mmmnnn! Love a wedge salad. Don’t know why I never make it. Probably because of the fat pieces of crispy bacon and thick calorie Blue Cheese dressing but soooo good.
I love wedge salads because they are crispier than other salads, I think.
