Ingredients
  

For the Salad Base
  • 1 head Iceberg or Romaine Lettuce Crisp leafy greens provide the perfect crunch; swap with your favorite crisp green if desired.
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Croutons Adds delightful crunch and flavor; opt for homemade if you want a personal touch.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Bring bursts of sweetness to the salad; grape tomatoes are a great substitute.
  • 4 slices Bacon Adds a smoky richness; choose Whole30-compatible bacon for a diet-friendly version.
  • 1/2 cup Blue Cheese Crumbles Creamy and tangy goodness that elevates every bite; feel free to replace with feta or goat cheese.
  • 1/4 cup Marinated Onions Offers a zesty crunch; you can mix in fresh onions for a sharper taste.
For the Dressing
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil The foundation of the dressing; enhances all flavors beautifully.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Adds brightness and acidity, balancing out the richness; lime juice can also work well as a swap.
  • 1/4 cup Whole30 Mayo Essential for a creamy dressing; regular mayo is fine for non-Whole30 preparations.

  4. Assemble the Salad: Arrange lettuce wedges on a platter. Layer with croutons, bacon, tomatoes, blue cheese, and marinated onions.
  5. Drizzle with Dressing: Generously drizzle dressing over each wedge and garnish with chopped chives or herbs if desired.
