on Jul 26, 2023, Updated Nov 16, 2023 I love salads like this, that have a lot of volume but are also really light and refreshing. Iceberg lettuce is low in fiber and high in water content, which makes it a great choice for the base of a summer salad.
Why You’ll Love Wedge Salad
You’ll love this wedge salad for its perfect blend of crisp freshness and creamy dressing. The iceberg lettuce, with its high water content, provides a refreshing base, while the creamy lemon parmesan dressing, made with plain yogurt, maple syrup, and grated parmesan cheese 🧀, adds nuttiness. The blend of flavors created by the dressing, complemented by fresh feta, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and optional jalapeños, will have you asking for seconds. Plus, the salad’s quick and easy preparation makes it an ideal choice for a light, yet satisfying meal on any warm day.
How to Prepare Wedge Salad
🥬When prepping the iceberg, first remove 1 to 2 layers of the outermost leaves, then compost them or give them to pets. Chop the iceberg into wedges and soak in a bowl of ice water. 🧊The ice water helps release any dirt hidden in the lettuce layers and gets the leaves even crisper. You can also add the sliced red onion to the iced water to help mellow the onion flavor. 🌶️Be sure to rinse and dry the lettuce and onion well. The jalapeños are completely optional, but as they’re growing like weeds this time of year, I couldn’t resist adding a few from my garden. They add a nice spicy counterbalance to the creamy feta and dressing.
