Wedge Salad Skewers

This creative appetizer takes the traditional elements of a wedge salad, including crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crunchy bacon, and creamy dressing. But this transforms them into fun, bite-sized skewers. Perfect for barbecues or casual gatherings, these skewers not only look visually appealing but also make it easy for guests to enjoy a classic salad in a new way.

I’m a huge fan of a wedge salad, so this is one of my favorite appetizers to add to my party spread. My guests are always surprised and happy to see a fresh salad option.

Helpful Tips

1. Choose the Right Lettuce: While iceberg lettuce is traditional for wedge salads, you can also use romaine or butter lettuce for a different flavor and texture. Just make sure the leaves are sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
2. Make Ahead: These skewers can be assembled a few hours in advance. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. However, it’s best to add the dressing right before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
3. Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or even avocado for extra flavor and nutrition. You can also try different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or cheddar, to suit your taste.
