Keto Monster Wedge Salad

This Keto Monster Wedge Salad is the ultimate way to turn a classic steakhouse side into a satisfying, protein-packed lunch that will keep you full for hours. There is something incredibly satisfying about the contrast between the cold, crisp crunch of a fresh iceberg wedge and the velvety richness of a homemade blue cheese dressing. By loading this version with savory bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and juicy tomatoes, we have transformed a simple starter into a monster meal that hits every flavor profile from salty and smoky to tangy and bright.

While the combination of blue cheese and balsamic vinegar provides a sophisticated tang, this recipe is quite flexible if you want to experiment with what you have in the fridge. If you are not a fan of blue cheese, you can easily swap the crumbles for feta or goat cheese, or even use a creamy ranch base while keeping the same assembly method. For those looking to tighten up the carb count even further, substituting the whole milk in the dressing with a splash of heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk works perfectly. You can also play with the proteins by adding grilled chicken or swapping the pork bacon for turkey bacon if that fits your daily macros.

To ensure every bite stays as fresh and crisp as possible, it is best to assemble this salad right before you plan to eat it. If you are meal prepping for the week, store the creamy dressing in a glass jar and keep your chopped toppings in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days. Because this is a cold dish, there is no reheating required, but you should wait to slice the lettuce wedges until you are ready to serve to prevent them from browning or losing that signature snap. Simply drizzle the dressing over the fresh lettuce, pile on your prepared toppings, and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal right at your kitchen table.
