Hey, Grill Master! Isn't it time you stepped up your grillin' game to include the grilled wedge salad? Summertime isn't getting any longer. And sure, you're already a legend in front of the coals; Your burgers and dogs make kids sit up straight, even at the picnic table. BBQ chicken doesn't dare flare up on your watch (not a chance). Your baby back ribs don't fall from the bone, they leap from it. To steaks, chops and brats, "crosshatch" is your middle name.

What about veggies? Sure. You grill 'em. You've never met a corn on the cob, zucchini or artichoke you couldn't make more mouthwatering. But up until now, your salad's been nothing but tossed. So, Grill Master, it's time you become a Wedge Master. Here's how:

Ingredients:
5-ingredient bleu cheese dressing. (Get the recipehere. Expert tip: Consider doubling or tripling the portion sizes if you're making a whole head of iceberg!)

Red Onion
Bacon
Iceberg lettuce

Directions:

6. Enjoy your masterpiece. Real grill masters take risks! Whipping up this hearty salad is the perfect opportunity to do so. What are you waiting for?
