ICEBERG LETTUCE WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Iceberg Lettuce With Blue Cheese Dressing image

This recipe reminds me of childhood. It's extremely retro, with an optional update. Definitely not for the nutrition-conscious. Did you know iceberg lettuce has the poorest nutritional content of all lettuces? The lettuce certainly won't boost your vitamin A or C levels, or fatten you up but the dressing sure will! This was in today's NY Times, an article about "loser lettuces" (iceberg and romaine) by Mark Bittman, the Minimalist. I would take exception with calling romaine a loser lettuce; unlike iceberg it has lots of nutrition. Then again, sometimes you just can't beat the crunchy cold of iceberg. I made this last night and it was just as I remembered it :)

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp lettuce. Romaine, iceberg, and butterhead lettuces are all good choices.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
For a tangier dressing, use more blue cheese or crumbled bacon. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, as the dressing can wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This classic salad is a perfect side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or steak. It's also a great way to use up leftover lettuce. With its creamy, tangy dressing and crunchy lettuce, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
