Watermelon Wedge Steakhouse Salad [MetroCreative]

Steakhouse fans eagerly anticipate digging into the savory cuts of sizzling beef waiters serve up. The precursor to that portion of the meal is often a wedge salad, which offers a crisp complement to the richness of the steak.

Wedge salads are traditionally made with iceberg lettuce and drizzled with a flavorful dressing — often blue cheese. However, there’s no set rules when it comes to wedge salads. With this recipe for Watermelon Wedge Steakhouse Salad, diners can skip the lettuce altogether.
