Iceberg Wedge - On White Plate with Red Onion, Crumbled Bacon, and Gorgonzola on Top
Poor little iceberg lettuce doesn’t have a very good reputation.  I’ve read time and time again about how it has the least amount of vitamins and the highest water content out of any lettuce.  But honestly, I’m in love with iceberg wedges mainly for how refreshing they are to eat.  If you’ve only ever had a torn iceberg salad, you must try this, because the two are not the same at all.  There’s something so satisfying about cutting off a big stack of layered iceberg leaves off a big wedge with a fork and knife, and eating it.  Now, crumbled bacon and gorgonzola are classic flavors for an iceberg wedge, but you could do some variation by doing a blue cheese instead.  Play with it however you like!
