wedge salad
Lettuce chunk appetizer
A wedge salad is a quarter-head of iceberg lettuce served as a salad, typically topped with blue cheese dressing, bacon bits, tomatoes, and chives.
The presentation—a thick wedge rather than torn leaves—is the defining feature.
It's a steakhouse staple: We started with wedge salads and shrimp cocktail.
