Instructions
Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain then crumble into pieces.
Prepare the Lettuce
Remove the outer leaves of the iceberg lettuce, cut the head into four equal wedges through the core, and place each wedge cut-side up on individual serving plates.
Add the Toppings
Spoon the blue cheese dressing generously over each lettuce wedge, then scatter the crumbled bacon and halved cherry tomatoes over the top.
Finish and Serve
Top each wedge with crumbled blue cheese and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side for those who want more.
