Christmas Wedge

Christmas Wedge
Ingredients
- 1 box organic girl romaine leaves or one head romaine
- Blue cheese crumbles
- 5 slices Fresh bacon crumbles approximately
- 1 container Sunset sprinkles tomatoes 3.5oz
- Quality blue cheese dressing
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 White carrots cut with star cookie cutter into stars
- 2 Red carrots cut horizontally for tree trunk
- 4 oz White cheddar cubed for presents
- 1 Beet cut into strips for present ribbons
Method
- Cook your bacon as desired and set aside to cool. Once cool, chop into bite size pieces.
- Lay your romaine leaves on your platter, fanning the large "frilly" end of each lettuce leaf outward towards the edge of the platter. Use the smaller lettuce leaves at the top of the tree and the larger leaves at the base of the tree.
- Sprinkle your tomatoes (you can also halve some of them if you have larger tomatoes), fresh bacon crumbles, and blue cheese.
- Slice your white carrot into 1/2" round discs and using a small star cookie cutter or a pairing knife make star shapes. Place on salad tree.
- Slice your red carrot in half lengthwise and create your tree trunk. If you wish to add presents simply cube white cheddar cheese or any cheese. Use thin slices of beet to create the "ribbon".
- Add ground pepper as desired all over the salad and serve with blue cheese dressing on the side.
Notes
Get creative and have fun with the decorations. Mini Sunset sprinkles tomatoes can be found at Trader Joe's. You can substitute any blue cheese dressing or cheese varieties as desired.
