Wedge Salad Skewers…. Iceberg lettuce, crispy bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and blue cheese dressing on a stick. YUM!! This appetizer is perfect at a cookout or anytime you’re serving a crowd. Thank you to Naturally Fresh® Brand for sponsoring this post.
It’s Monday and who’s ready for the long weekend already? I’m so pumped July 4th falls on a Monday this year because it gives us extra time to spend with family, relaxing in the summer sun. We spend a lot of time outside on long weekends, cooking out, boating and playing in the pool.
When it’s hot outside, I love a good salad. One of my favorite salads to serve up during grilling season at a cookout is the wedge salad. Cool iceberg lettuce with juicy sweet tomatoes, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and blue cheese dressing.
I’ve teamed up with Naturally Fresh® Brand , a line of high quality home-style dressings to create these Wedge Salad Skewers perfect for entertaining. I know right, revolutionary. Wedge Salad on a stick. I don’t know about you, but a good wedge salad must have a good bleu cheese dressing.
Naturally Fresh only uses real ingredients, and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. You can taste the difference. The Naturally Fresh® Brand Bleu Cheese Dressing is made with their own buttermilk and aged bleu cheese chunks.
These Wedge Salad Skewers NEED to be at your next cookout. They’re a crowd pleaser and will be sure to impress your guests.
