Stuffed Iceberg Wedges Recipes

ICEBERG WEDGE

Steps:

• Remove outer leaves of lettuce and wash thoroughly in cold water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels then split into wedges and arrange on plates. Scatter grape tomato halves over and around the lettuce.
• Make dressing by combining mayonnaise and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, fold in blue cheese and chives and season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over wedge and grape tomatoes. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and top with chives.

STUFFED HEAD LETTUCE

Steps:

• Wash lettuce; remove core.
• With a tablespoon, remove enough of the lettuce around core to leave a cavity 2 to 3 in diameter.
• Save removed lettuce for another use.
• Combine cheeses, carrot, green pepper, tomato, pepper, salt and onion, pack firmly into lettuce cavity.
• Wrap lettuce head in foil or plastic wrap and chill until center is solid.
• Slice lettuce into wedges.
• Serve with dressing of your choice.
• A few pieces of fresh fruit (grapes, strawberries or melon) placed on the salad plate is very nice.

CHOPPED ICEBERG WEDGE

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and salt to taste in a small bowl until smooth.
• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Roughly chop the lettuce, then toss with some of the dressing in a serving bowl. Top with the tomatoes and scallions. Scatter the bacon and blue cheese over the salad; season with pepper and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with more dressing on the side.
