Wedge Salad with Spicy Candied Pecans, Bacon and Sour Cream Blue Cheese Dressing

Prep Time20 Minutes

Servings6

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp honey

3/4 tsp salt, divided

1/4 tsp cayenne

5 oz. whole pecans (1 1/4 cups)

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup sour cream

1/4 cup buttermilk

2 tsp red wine vinegar

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 oz.)

1 medium head iceberg lettuce, cored and cut into 6 wedges

4 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled

10 oz cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, combine sugar, butter, water, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Add pecans and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply browned and fragrant, but not burned. Immediately transfer onto the baking sheet and use 2 forks to separate the nuts. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop 3/4 cup of the pecans. Reserve the remainder for another use (our vote: chef’s snack).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, vinegar, garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup blue cheese.
Place iceberg wedges onto serving plates. Top with dressing, remaining crumbled blue cheese, bacon, cherry tomatoes and candied pecans.
