A good Wedge Salad is my love language! I usually love to have them with Blue Cheese Dressing, but unfortunately a lot of Blue Cheese isn’t gluten free. Traditionally the milk used to make blue cheese has been, and still is, inoculated with mold spores grown on bread or cultures that contain gluten. So that is why I chose to use ranch here! And this homemade ranch dressing is truly to die for! It also couldn’t be easier to make.
What Ingredients You Need to Make this Steakhouse Wedge Salad with Homemade Ranch
- Steak – I used Aspen Ridge Filets, but any steak will work here!
- Iceberg lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Sugar free Bacon
- Chives
For the homemade ranch:
- Mayo – I like Sir Kensington’s Avocado Oil Mayo
- Almond milk – I used Califia Farms Unsweetened almond milk
- Fresh dill
- dried chives
- Garlic powder
- Dried parsley
- Onion powder
- Lemon
- Salt
That’s it!
How To Make This Wedge Salad with Filet
Make your ranch dressing. Combine all of the ingredients and whisk them well. Place the ranch in the fridge until you’re ready to serve the salad.
Make your bacon. I love using this No-Mess Baked Bacon method! Drain it on a paper towel-lined plate and crumble it.
Remove your steaks from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Heat your grill to 450 degrees. Rub some olive oil on each side of the steaks, and sprinkle both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
Grill the filets for 4-5 minutes per side for medium. A little less for medium rare, and a little longer for medium well. Remove them from the grill and let them sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
While the steaks cook, slice your lettuce into 2-3 inch wide pieces. Top them with the tomatoes, bacon, and ranch, and serve with the sliced steak!

This was so good and very easy for a weeknight. The homemade ranch was so tasty. I have really, really liked every recipe of Mary’s that I’ve tried. What I love about her recipes is that I don’t have to think about ideas for dinner. I can go to one of hers and know it will be good.
Made the ranch dressing only, and it was delicious! Super easy to make as well!
This salad will be on repeat this summer! So flavorful and easy to make.
Love Mary’s recipes! This ranch dressing is drinkable. Great summer salad!
This is the perfect summer salad. Refreshing, satisfying, and filling; what more could you want😁
Thank you!!
