We think our wedge salad recipe is the ultimate iteration, but we're not opposed to innovation—like these embellishments and swaps.
Croutons
Truth: Croutons are never a bad idea. Toss torn bread with olive oil and bake at 375°F until golden.
Dried Cranberries
We love the tart, chewy fruit against the snappy lettuce.
Diced Avocado
A little fatty richness and pretty color make it a winning addition.
Fresh Tarragon
This herb's delicate anise flavor complements almost any green salad.
Spanish Chorizo
Cut into pieces and used in place of bacon, it brings a smoky spiciness into the mix.
Egg Mimosa
Push hard-boiled eggs through a mesh sieve for a fluffy texture.
Toasted Almonds
Chopped nuts deliver crunch— and are so good with blue cheese.
Fried Shalllots
Thinly sliced and cooked in neutral oil until crisp, they add a sweet, oniony flavor and great texture.
Sliced Scallion
Mirrors the bite of the chives in the dressing—but sharper.
