Why infuse a salad dressing with THC? 

Not only are salads delicious and flavorful, they’re packed with nutrients and are a terrific source of vitamins and minerals.

And luckily, our Blue Cheese Dressing recipe contains several fats, including buttermilk and coconut oil. Which makes it a perfect medium to infuse products like THC oil into! 

Ready to start? Then here’s what you’ll need:

  • 0.25ml THC RSO

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions for making Shiitake Wedge Salad With THC–Infused Blue Cheese Dressing: 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a rimmed sheet pan.

  2. Clean the shiitakes with a wet towel. Discard the stems and then slice the heads into strips. Add to the sheet pan and drizzle with the soy sauce, maple syrup, and Worcestershire. Toss to combine, then evenly spread out the mushrooms on the pan. Bake until brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  3. Toss the tomatoes, shallot, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

  4. Place your THC RSO oil syringe in a cup of hot water for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the RSO become less solid and flow much more easily when dispensing it from the syringe.

  5. Once warmed, combine your coconut oil with 0.25mL of THC RSO and stir thoroughly to combine.

  6. For the dressing, use a fork to smash the roquefort in a bowl. Then add the yogurt, buttermilk, infused-coconut oil, hot sauce, water, and lemon juice. Stir until most of the cheese chunks have smoothed out. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of cold water, adding more as needed to get the consistency where you want it.

  7. Quarter the whole head of the iceberg lettuce, then halve each piece to yield 8 small wedges. Halve the remaining ½ head of iceberg, then halve each piece to yield 4 small wedges. Sprinkle the lettuce with salt.

  8. Dress and top the salad: Spoon the shallot vinaigrette over the lettuce (leaving the pickled tomatoes in the bowl for now), then dollop with the blue cheese dressing. Top each wedge with some tomatoes, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of chives.

And voila! You’ve just made a delicious, easy and fun THC-infused edible, perfect for date nights or after a great workout.

Storing your Shiitake Wedge Salad With THC–Infused Blue Cheese Dressing:

When you’re done you can cover the bowl with plastic wrap or Tupperware with a lid and refrigerate. 

Salads generally last 3-5 days in the refrigerator when stored properly. 

For optimal freshness, keep ingredients separate until ready to assemble, use airtight containers, and remove any plastic from packaged greens.
