Epic Bacon Wedge Salad Board
Who doesn’t love a good wedge salad, with bacon on top? I think we’ve all had a yummy wedge sometime or another at a restaurnt. They are so fun to serve for a holiday or party!
All the ingredients of this board are fresh and delicious!
Epic charcuterie board
Set out your favorite toppings on one epic board. [Check out all my charcuterie/cheese boards] You can read about the board + seasoning the board, here.
Toppings like: Iceberg lettuce, cantaloupe, red onion, dressing, feta (or blue cheese), bacon, tomatoes, hard cooked eggs, cucumber, and parsley for garnish!
How do you cut a wedge for a salad?
Cut lettuce into quarters. Carefully separate the leaves and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels.
For one serving, arrange one wedge on a plate. Drizzle dressing over each wedge, and then sprinkle with onions slices, bacon, and black pepper. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese.
You can serve this as a side salad for a full menu (serves 12), but you can also serve it for a luncheon.
How do you serve a wedge salad?
On this epic charcuterie board, we arranged the salad ingredients plus rolls.
Heat up the rolls—serve right when you’re ready to set out the board.
Don’t forget hot butter on the hot rolls when they come out of the oven (just rub on top). That way you don’t have to mess with butter on the table.
Guests can serve themselves!
By the way, my kitchen is rather a mess when I whip up one of my boards. But that is okay!
People crave connection
All people crave connection—not perfect food or a perfectly tidy home. They want a place to sit, to eat, to feel connected and secure, and feel like they’re at home.
The young mother you met at preschool, the family at church, the new neighbors who just moved into your neighborhood…whatever you serve, each of them want what you can offer.
Hosting is functional
Hosting is never fancy in my home; it’s functional. There is a difference between “hospitality” and “entertaining.”
Because my house is never perfect, I remove those expectations right away. Whew! What a relief it can be to not have to pretend our homes are perfect 24 hours/day.
It never was when my kids were little, and it never is now!
Mother’s Day
It makes me think of my Mom, who I learned so much from … how to be gracious and loving to your guests!
I miss my Mom every day, but since she is gone, I turn it for good, and focus on my kids and the people in my life.
What I share here on my blog and how I really practice hospitality in my home are so important to me.
So happy Mother’s Day to all my favorite moms in this world (I have a lot of moms in my life that I truly love).

My husband will love this. Serving for a dinner party soon! Gotta ask though, why cantaloupe? :)
I love this idea..I must tell you I’ve saved so many of your charcuterie board ideas. Hopefully some day I can make one after this pandemic. But initially..I bought the big board and two smaller ones thru Pier One. They are so beautiful it makes me happy just to own them. I keep a gray tinted carved one on my coffee table just for small items..I keep another brown carved one on my bed next to me for anything I need. My really big one I just keep on an antique table to display couple of things. I just love them…all because of you. ❤️
