Makes: 6 - 8 servings
A crisp, crunchy salad with a cool, zesty dressing.
Ingredients
1 head of iceberg lettuce or other tight-head lettuce
Premium Collection Salad Dressing, such as zesty Ranch or Chunky Blue
Cheese
(Optional garnishes)
minced red or green bell pepper
slivered radishes
halved multicolored cherry tomatoes
fresh basil, cut into slivers
Instructions
1) Cut out and discard the core from the iceberg lettuce, then hold the
lettuce under cold running water and carefully loosen the leaves from
inside the cored end.
2) Shake off and drain away as much water as possible, discarding any
bruised outer leaves.
3) Blot the head of lettuce dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen
towel, then wrap loosely in paper towels, place in a plastic bag, and
refrigerate until chilled and crisp, for at least 30 minutes or up to 5
days.
4) Serve cut wedges of iceberg lettuce topped with choice of creamy salad
dressing.
5) If desired, accent ranch-dressed lettuce wedge with a sprinkle of
minced red or green bell peppers; or blue cheese–dressed lettuce with a
few slivered radishes or cherry tomato halves and fresh basil.
