Creamy, crunchy, and delightfully juicy, the wedge salad combines a number of classic ingredients for a refreshing and salty dish. For your next gathering, it's time to put away your other sharing boards and make a salad that transcends expectations.

Now imagine elevating this iconic dish into something that's shareable, customizable, and perfect for the next party you're hosting. Gone are the days of reluctantly saving the final crispy bacon piece, as these boards enable your guests to personalize the salad according to their preferences. Picture a limitless supply of bacon pieces, ensuring everyone's desires are fulfilled. Serving as your personal salad bar, a wedge salad board provides a fantastic and health-conscious option for your guests to enjoy. Put away the cheese and meats, and let's revel in a selection of refreshing flavors.

The era of the butter and charcuterie board has reached its peak, and now it's time to introduce the wedge salad board to astound your guests. You can create these boards with classic wedge salad ingredients: iceberg wedges, tomatoes, bacon pieces, red onion, and a creamy sauce. You can also easily incorporate any desired additions such as bread rolls, sweet acorn, shredded cheese, or hard-boiled eggs to enhance your wedge salad experience. The customizable design of a wedge salad board allows for effortless adjustment to accommodate the exact number of guests. Great for limiting food waste.

All elements are served on a large wooden board, and smaller ingredients can be presented in small bowls or ramekins. These boards can play with levels, textures, and colors, all contributing to a stylish and lively appearance. They make a seriously eye-catching centerpiece at an evening do or summer gathering. Since these ingredients are the star of the show, you should strive to find the freshest produce in your local store, so this could involve some digging! 

While the wedge-shaped iceberg lettuce is likely to remain a constant whenever you make this board, the other elements are easily adapted. Look at this as an expression of your personality and get creative. Add cucumber, melon, celery, or whatever takes your fancy (or you need to use up). Similar to charcuterie boards, you can add ingredients to your wedge salad board that you may have not considered before. The creamy sauce could be blue cheese or, if you're catering to a guest with a dairy intolerance, ranch dressing.

These boards are not confined to summer either and can be a representation of any season, using seasonal fruit and vegetables that reflect exactly where we are in the year. Add roasted chestnuts or dates for a wintery vibe, apples and pears for a fall mood, or even fresh nectarines for a summer kick. A wedge salad board is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at your upcoming gathering, and the best part is that it's incredibly easy to set up. So, what are you waiting for?
