Instructions

Prep lettuce: Wash your lettuce head thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris. Remove the outer leaves if needed.
Slice your lettuce head in half straight through the middle.
Now place the halves cut side down and slice each half into 4 sections. Then slice each of those sections in half again, making a total of 16 mini wedges.
If needed, cut off the hard bottom stem pieces from some of the wedges. You can even choose to rewash any of the wedges at this point, but make sure to dry them well before continuing.
Plate the Salads: Plate the wedges so that they are resting with the larger bottom halves on a plate. If desired you can insert a toothpick or skewer through the center. This will help to hold the wedges together and to make them easier to serve to guests.
Toppings: Prepare the desired toppings. Chop, dice, crumble, and make sure to prep the ingredients into small pieces that will fit on each mini wedge of lettuce.
You can customize each wedge and top with different toppings, try to keep each wedge simple and not overdo it. Adding too many ingredients will make them harder to serve.
Assemble: Drizzle your dressing(s) over the top of the wedges.
Add the salad toppings. The dressing will help them to adhere to the lettuce. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Serve salads cold and enjoy!

Notes

You will need to store left over wedge salads in an airtight container, in the fridge, and they will stay fresh for up to 1 day. These mini salads are so simple to make, they really are meant to be enjoy the same day they are prepared.
