Blue cheese dressing for wedge salad or dip is so easy and fast to make. 

Why incorporate it?

This Wedge Salad is delicious and with Lively Life’s Blue Cheese Dressing that’s homemade and fast to make! 

After I did holistic nutrition 10 years ago, I stopped eating iceberg lettuce cause it is not as nutritional dense. But I missed the crisp and crunchy texture! So 10 years after holistic nutrition class now and I realize it is ok to get iceberg lettuce for the crisp and crunch, oh and its fiber content – and I add great nutrient dense foods to my meal to make up for it throughout that day  

So enjoy the iceberg lettuce, understanding that you need to add peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, you can also add almonds or other nuts to add more dense nutrients. The good thing is iceberg lettuce isn’t bad for you, it just isn’t as nutrient dense as spinach, kale, romaine, or leaf lettuce. 

Blue cheese health benefits include:

Improved digestion since it contains probiotic bacteria, anti-inflammatory compounds, high calcium & phosphorus for dental, bone health and weight lose benefits.

Which diet is this Salmon Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing suitable for?

Vegan – Yes – but use a vegan blue cheese alternative and alternative plain yogurt. Skip the Salmon twist. Add chickpeas or sliced almonds for protein.

WEDGE SALAD with a meal:

How to make this Salmon Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing fool proof?

  1. Buy good Blue Cheese! It’s the core of the salad dressing and good plain yogurt
  2. Smoked Salmon – buy wild caught not farmed. Wild caught salmon has higher Omega 3s to Omega 6s which is anti-inflammatory and healthier. Farmed fished have more contaminants like PCBs (man made chemical – polychlorinated biphenyls, in fish fed that is stored in fat and doesn’t break down) and pesticides.
  3. Like all meats and fish – I highly suggest to eat better quality and less quantity. One of the reasons I don’t like eating out.
