Loaded Wedge Salad

Wedge Salads are a classic, a traditional starter or appetizer that you will find commonly on just about anyone's dinner table. After making my Healthified Gorgonzola Port 'Blue Cheese' Cheese Dressing a few weeks back, I knew that it would be the perfect dressing for a wedge salad. Not just any wedge salad though. I wanted one that was loaded. Fully. With all of the fun naughty bits.

I'm talking bacon, egg, cheese, and of course... tomatoes. This is the wedge salad of my dreams and that homemade dressing is an absolute must! It took me a few good years and a lot of trial and error to get the most amazing healthified blue cheese dressing recipe that you'll come across...
