This vibrant tomato and bacon salad is a sophisticated take on the classic wedge salad, offering a wonderful contrast of textures and temperatures. The combination of juicy beefsteak tomatoes and tender butterhead lettuce provides a fresh base for the rich, punchy blue cheese dressing. By using a touch of warm bacon fat in the sauce, you achieve a depth of savoury flavour that perfectly complements the salty crunch of the grilled bacon pieces.
Ideal as an elegant starter or a satisfying light lunch, this colourful dish is effortless to assemble yet looks impressive on the plate. The creamy dressing can be prepared in advance, making it a reliable choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve it alongside some crusty sourdough bread to mop up the delicious dressing and juices.
