lettuce wedge
 
A lettuce wedge may not seem like much, but I do like them. Applebee's has a new menu and the lettuce wedge is no longer available, as the lemon shrimp pasta.

Without having to go to many restaurants, will you please tell me where you have seem it on the menu. I really did not want to post this, but after a while I decided I really had to ask.

Thank you!

Lettuce wedge is excellent at Red Sauce.

I believe Bonefish Grill offers one on their menu. (I love them, too!)

How exactly is a lettuce wedge made, prepared, presented?

As a kid we were served a lettuce wedge with a dressing of a combination of mayonnaise, ketchup and a little sugar and vinegar, sometimes sweet pickle relish was added.

Here's how I like it: a wedge of lettuce with really good blue cheese dressing, chunks of blue cheese on top, crumbled, crispy bacon and tomatoes.

I had a good lettuce wedge at World of Beer in Brownwood last summer.

A lettuce wedge I can easily prepare at home; chop, chop. I want a salad with a plethora of fresh exotic ingredients at a restaurant.

Lettuce wedge
 
I have seen them at many of the Country Clubs. I know Evans Prairie has them. They come with a bleu cheese dressing I think.

Thank you for your replies. Saved me from having to go to many places just to find a lettuce wedge.

Bonifay has a steak (small fillet) and wedge.

A head of lettuce, quarter it, sprinkle some blue cheese on it, then some bacon bits and some blue cheese dressing--prep time under 10 minutes==I would not go out to eat something that I could make at home blindfolded=

at less than a dollar a pop, too!

Chatbrat 08-10-2017 11:43 AM

But when combined with a glass of water & a lemon wedge--great lunch

Oh but, CB, surely you would never allow bacon bits in your kitchen. And wouldn't your blue cheese have to be able to trace its DNA back to the walls of some cave in France.

(Uh oh, the mean girl in me just showed up.....but that's about as mean as I ever let her get.)

And, btw, Starflyte, thank you for bringing up lettuce wedges. I had forgotten all about them and I will make them at home........

Hey! CB! I can see that sneer! No need! I will use real bacon, just like I do in my German potato salad.

..........whatinthehellisthematterwithme.......I am on the internet being snarky about lettuce wedges.

I love German potato salad. I think mine is respectable.

My grandfather (mother's side) made a wonderful GPS. I remember the first time I had it as a kid, when I was probably about eight years old. It had tons and tons of onions!

I think Ruby Tuesday has the best salad bar around!

I have to get that vinegar to sugar ratio just right. I can't explain it. All I know is it can be done only by tasting along the way. It always takes me through at least 3 spoons.

Hi Henryk

Yes and no. If a person needs nourishment because of some malady then lettuce (salad) doesn't cut it. Such a body needs more. I am told that as we age the colon weakens as to absorption of nutrients and it is all the more reason to eat meat . I eat less meat at a meal now than I did just a did just a few years ago but I do maintain meat in my diet throughout a week

a lettuce wedge is good and tasty especially on these hot days

Moderation in all things...However my brother always replies "yea and I like a lot of moderation":D

jdsl1998 08-11-2017 06:24 AM

I had one grilled....yum

cbg150 08-12-2017 11:44 PM

Yes, but how about the bleu cheese dressing, bacon bits and so on?

Lots of fats, extremely high in sodium and may even contain some sugars...
