Wedge Salad with High Protein Blue Cheese Dressing

Description

The experience of cutting through a hunk of crispy lettuce with creamy dressing, bacon, and blue cheese is honestly so fun. The biggest tip? Make sure you use a good amount of dressing. Icelandic Provisions Whole Milk Plain Skyr gives it a really creamy texture to amplify the addictively salty, funky blue cheese. Load it up with whatever toppings you like — it's particularly delicious with chives, tomatoes, and a little red onion. Enjoy!

Ingredients

For the dressing:

2 Tablespoon

Blue Cheese, crumbled

1/4 Cup

Icelandic Provisions Whole Milk Plain Skyr

1 Tablespoon

Lemon Juice

1/4 Teaspoon

Garlic Powder

Salt and Pepper, to taste

1/4 Cup

2 Tablespoon

Recipe

Step 1:

In a small bowl, smash blue cheese into a paste, then whisk vigorously with skyr, lemon juice, and garlic powder until a smooth, creamy dressing forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep chilled in the fridge while you prep the salad.

Step 2:

Set a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add bacon. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, about 5 - 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain excess oil, then let cool to room temperature before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3:

Drizzle each wedge with half the dressing, then top with bacon, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
