Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 4 wedges, leaving the stem intact
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with nonstick aluminum foil.
- Place the bacon on the lined sheet tray. Sprinkle on the brown sugar and steak seasoning. Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool enough to touch, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic and honey, parsley and thyme. Season to taste. Add the onion and tomatoes. Let sit until the tomatoes are slightly darker in color and the onions have softened slightly, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Place the wedges on plates. Top each with the onion and tomato mixture and any remaining liquid. Drizzle the wedges with the blue cheese dressing and top with the crumbled blue cheese and the bacon pieces. Serve immediately.

Best wedge salad ever!
Really good! I didn’t use the steak seasoning…felt it was unnecessary. Loved the balsamic onions and tomatoes!
Sunny’s wedge salad dressing is the best I’ve had and a sure hit with family and guests. Cheers to Sunny! Sunny makes my day sunny. So, Virginia, if nobody cares, it means you don’t care either, which conflicts with your taking the time to write about it. I, for one, enjoy sunny Sunny’s recipes, whether she chooses to put her sunny moniker in their name or not.
“Sunny” this, “Sunny” that. Who cares. No one else on The Kitchen feels compelled to label their recipes that way….
This combination of dressings is absolutely brilliant! I did not have hot honey so I added some sriracha. I also added some croutons that I make with toasted grocery store garlic bread. My family freaked out over this!
This is so refreshing and different!! My family loved it !! Will be great for summer with any protein but especially steak grilled!! You can customize this anyway you choose!! I added some french fried onions and DO NOT skimp on the bacon!! AMAZING!!
Absolutely amazing. The onion/tomato mix is delicious left over on a hamburger with blue cheese.
Easy recipe, taste wonderful ! I wasn’t so sure about the bacon but it’s very good. I will be making this again … especially this summer
Would this work as a make ahead dish for lunches with storing lettuce, bacon and balsamic mix in separate containers and refrigerating that morning and then refrigerating till lunch?
I saw Sunny demonstrate this recipe on the Kitchen (?) and it encouraged me to ‘cook’ for my guy. Super easy, super yummy, and fresh! Thank you Sunny!
