Wedge and Cobb salads are always my favorites. I can throw either one together in no time at all with a variety of ingredient. Whatever I have on hand. If I’m in a hurry I might grab a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing out of the pantry. But if I have a spare minute or two I like to make my own. Like this blue cheese vinaigrette. Easy to make using ingredients I almost always have on hand. It packs that nice blue cheese twang, along with a little hit of mustard. It was perfect on my simple wedge salad.
Add A Little Smokiness
I like to use smoked pepper and salt when making this blue cheese vinaigrette. It adds a nice unexpected flavor. Subtle but definitely different than ‘normal’ salt and pepper.
I serve my dressings in squeeze bottles or sometimes dipping sauce bowls.
Also try my bacon buttermilk dressing or roasted red pepper vinaigrettes on a wedge salad. For something different, make my balsamic smoked honey vinaigrette.
