Chili Seasoning Mix

This is a seasoning mix I like to keep in my pantry. It replaces
Mc Cormick's Chili Seasoning packet. I like that this recipe utilizes ingredients I keep in my pantry.

Just process all the ingredients in a mini food processor, until combined. Store, and label, in a recycled spice container.

CHILI SEASONING MIX

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 Tablespoon Righteous Seasoning
2 Teaspoons cumin
1 Teaspoon oregano
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon onion powder
1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:
Blend ingredients in a mini food processor. A magic bullet blender works well for this. Store in an airtight container. Makes 1/4 cup.

Classic Wedge Salad

There are so many things I love about the wedge salad: the decadent blue cheese dressing, the extra layer of crumbled blue cheese, the cool crispy crunchy lettuce and fried BACON! I mean, come on. Who doesn't love bacon? Not anyone I know.

Start with clean, chilled iceberg lettuce. You can learn an easy way to clean the lettuce, by clicking the link.

And Blue Cheese Dressing.

Top the lettuce wedge with dressing, tomato, bacon and crumbled blue cheese.

CLASSIC WEDGE SALAD

INGREDIENTS:

1 (1/6th wedge) Iceberg lettuce

1/2 Small tomato, diced - or - 6 grape tomatoes

2 Slices bacon, cooked, chopped

2 3 Tablespoons (See Blue Cheese Dressing)

1 Tablespoon crumbled blue cheese

Croutons, optional

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare dressing a couple of hours prior to assembling the salad. Clean iceberg lettuce by slamming the core against the counter; pulling the core from the lettuce. Rinse, drain and refrigerate for optimum crispness. To cut the wedge: slice lettuce in half, starting from the core and cutting downward. Slice each half into thirds; cutting from the core downward. Place, a wedge, on a salad plate. Top with Blue Cheese Dressing, tomatoes, bacon, crumbled blue cheese and croutons.

Blue Cheese Dressing

I made a resolution, a few years ago, to give up bottled salad dressing. It has been the easiest, most satisfying resolution I've ever made.

This recipe for Blue Cheese Dressing is quite simple. Just put all the ingredients into a bowl.

Then stir, to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.

I like this dressing on a Classic Wedge Salad, which I will be sharing next.
