Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head of iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup green goddess dressing
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup sliced radishes
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the Green Goddess Wedge Salad. Ensure you have 1 head of iceberg lettuce, 1 cup of green goddess dressing, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup of sliced radishes, 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese, and fresh chives for garnish.
- Rinse the iceberg lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Carefully pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is important to ensure the lettuce stays crisp.
- Once the lettuce is dry, cut the head of iceberg lettuce into quarters. To do this, place the head of lettuce on a cutting board, cut it in half vertically, and then cut each half into halves again, resulting in four wedges.
- Arrange the lettuce wedges on a large serving platter or individual plates, ensuring they are positioned upright for an appealing presentation.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced radishes. Toss them gently to mix the ingredients evenly. This will add color and crunch to your salad.
- Evenly distribute the tomato and radish mixture over the lettuce wedges. You can place them on top of the wedges or around them for a more decorative look.
- Next, drizzle the green goddess dressing generously over each wedge of lettuce. Use a spoon or a small ladle to control the amount of dressing per wedge, ensuring they are well-coated but not overly drenched.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the dressed wedges, allowing the creamy texture to complement the other fresh ingredients.
- Finally, chop the fresh chives finely and sprinkle them over the salad for a burst of flavor and a pop of color. This will enhance the presentation and add a mild onion flavor.
- Serve the Green Goddess Wedge Salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy the crisp textures and vibrant flavors!
Tips
- Lettuce Selection: Choose a fresh, firm iceberg lettuce head. Look for one that feels heavy and has tight, crisp leaves.
- Dressing Technique: For the best flavor, drizzle the green goddess dressing just before serving to maintain the lettuce's crisp texture.
- Ingredient Preparation: Ensure all vegetables are thoroughly washed and dried to prevent a watery salad.
- Cheese Tip: Crumble the feta cheese just before serving to maintain its fresh, creamy texture.
- Garnish Hack: Chop chives finely and sprinkle them right before serving to preserve their bright green color and fresh flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the maximum crunch and freshness of the ingredients.
- Customization: Feel free to add grilled chicken or shrimp to turn this into a more substantial meal.
