Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Wedge Salad

Begin by selecting a fresh head of iceberg lettuce, removing any wilted outer leaves. Cut the head into quarters, slicing out the hard core.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the four slices of bacon until golden-brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease, then crumble.
Wash and slice one cup of cucumbers into thin rounds to add a refreshing crunch.
On a large serving platter, place one quarter of the iceberg lettuce or two eighths for easier serving, ensuring the wedges stand upright.
Top each wedge with sliced cucumbers, followed by sliced strawberries.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon pieces over each wedge.
Drizzle blue cheese dressing over each wedge, adjusting to taste.
Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and fresh.
