Caffeyole Iceberg Lettuce Salad

Featured by Caffeyole aka yoliOms, posted in Healthy living

From time to time we end up with a head of iceberg lettuce and wonder what can be created with it other than the common uses.

These are the moments in my life that inspire new creations; here is my latest recipe:

April 14th, 2025 M [0901]

What you will need:

Large pretty glass bowl for salad

Small bowl for dressing

Tongs or Salad Tossers

Lettuce Spinner

Ingredients:

1 Head of Iceberg lettuce chopped into bite size pieces, wash and spin until no more liquid is released.

1 Cucumber peeled cored and chopped into bite size pieces

1 Carrot shredded

1 small can sliced Black Olives

1 cup Cherry tomatoes quartered

1/2 cup Bacon Bits

1/2 cup Stilton cheese crumbled

Pinch of Salt -to taste

17 cracks of Black pepper

Dressing Ingredients:

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Plain yogurt

1/4 cup Dark Balsamic vinegar

Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Place dressing ingredients in small bowl and mix well until balsamic vinegar is blended in well. I use a spoon or fork. Set dressing aside.

When you are ready to serve salad, in the large bowl add all the vegetables and toss well. Then add half the dressing and toss salad for no less than one minute.

Add more dressing or all of it depending on how coated you want it. I put any leftover dressing in a ramekin and place on table.

Finish off the salad by sprinkling salt and pepper over the top. Viola!

Thanks for stopping by Caffeyole today.

Have a great cooking day and Eat Up!
