CHOPPED ICEBERG WEDGE SALAD (THE MERMAID OYSTER BAR)



Chopped Iceberg Wedge Salad (The Mermaid Oyster Bar) image

This is Zach Braff's (of Scrubs) favorite salad from The Mermaid Oyster Bar in New York City. Recipe was in Food Network Magazine June 2010. I think some grilled shrimp would be DIVINE on top of this salad!!! I suggest letting the dressing rest for an hour or two to get maximum flavor.
