Grilled Cobb Wedge Recipes

Steps:

• For the salad: Pack all the ingredients for the salad in individual bags and place on a sheet pan.
• For the Thousand Island dressing: Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix. Pour into a quart container and put the lid on.
• To assemble: Arrange the lettuce on the bottom of a platter and sprinkle ham, eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, Cheddar, onions, edamame, and parsley on top. Drizzle some dressing over the salad. Garnish with scallions. Serve extra dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut cabbage into 8 wedges. Place a metal skewer through each wedge to hold in place and keep from falling apart. Drizzle both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper.
• Place directly on the grill and cook until grill marks are achieved, turning once, 8 to 12 minutes total. Remove from skewers and serve.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels and cut in half; set aside.
• Soft-boil the eggs: Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the eggs into the water and cook exactly 6 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the boiling water and lower them into the ice water. Let sit at least 5 minutes, then peel.
• Preheat a grill or griddle to medium high. Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, the tomatoes, basil and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss and set aside.
• Stand the iceberg head upright on the core. With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch-thick slice out of the center (the thickest part) of the head, creating a thick round disk. Lay the lettuce disk on a work surface and cut away the core. Slicing horizontally, cut the disk in half to create two 1/2-inch-thick round lettuce "steaks."
• Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the paprika in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Brush on both sides of the lettuce steaks; grill just to give the lettuce a little color on one side, about 30 seconds.
• To assemble the salad, put a piece of grilled iceberg on each plate. Cut the soft-boiled eggs in half and arrange on top. Top with the avocado, bacon, radishes, onion and tomato mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Top with blue cheese and herbs; season with pepper.

Steps:

• Cut 1 head iceberg lettuce into 4 wedges. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until well marked, 1 to 2 minutes per cut side. Top with blue cheese dressing, chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped cooked bacon and crumbled blue cheese.

Steps:

• For the corn: Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Rub the oil on the corn on the prepared baking sheet. Broil the corn, turning every few minutes, until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cob and set aside; discard the cob.
• For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Mix the barbecue sauce, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Put the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and brush with a layer of the sauce. Bake, flipping and basting with more sauce every 10 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through and juicy and the sauce is sticky and dark, 45 to 55 minutes. Cut the bacon in half crosswise to yield 4 pieces.
• To assemble the salad: Arrange the wedges of lettuce on a large platter. Add the tomatoes, corn and bacon around the wedges. Season the lettuce and tomatoes with salt. Top with coarsely ground pepper. Spoon the dressing over the lettuce wedges and top with the pickled onions. Serve immediately.
• Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, then fold in the blue cheese, leaving a few lumps of cheese.
• Place the onions and peppercorns in a jar. Whisk the vinegars together with the sugar, salt and 1 cup water in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the onions and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. The pickled onions will keep about 2 weeks in the fridge.
