HEARTS OF ICEBERG LETTUCE WITH RANCH DRESSING
The 'Berg's back! For a while it was almost embarrassing to even think of eating Iceberg lettuce?it was blacklisted as flavorless, colorless and watery. But Iceberg is an All-American favorite that doesn't deserve to be shelved. It's refreshing and crisp, and the 'rents are sure to love it because it's probably what they grew up on. And it's so simple! To serve, I just split a head of iceberg into wedges and top them with some homemade ranch dressing and fresh chopped chives. Nothing simpler. Nothing better.

Steps:
- Peel off any wilted or discolored leaves from the outside of the lettuce. Trim the core even with the bottom of the lettuce and cut the lettuce into quarters through the core. If the quarters look too big for a single serving, either cut them in half or trim them to whatever size you feel is a good serving.
- Combine the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, and chives in a bowl until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To serve, set the wedge of iceberg in the center of a salad plate, spoon the dressing over and dash it with a good pinch of chives.
STIR-FRIED ICEBERG LETTUCE WITH SHRIMP
In stir-fries, like this one, iceberg lettuce retains some crunch and structure, and its flavor is, if anything, accentuated by the fast cooking. (Don't cook it too long, though, or it will turn to mush and the dish will become watery.)

Steps:
- Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl and mix well; set aside.
- Put a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil, swirl it around and immediately add garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add scallion and lettuce. Raise heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until lettuce just softens, about 2 to 3 minutes; transfer everything to a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium, add remaining tablespoon of oil, let it get hot, add shrimp and sprinkle with salt and pepper; raise heat to high, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn heat down to medium, return lettuce to pan, and toss once or twice. Stir sauce to make sure cornstarch and sugar are well blended and add to pan. Cook until everything is warmed through and sauce thickens. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve.

ICEBERG LETTUCE GARNISH
This is the classic vegetable layer for the familiar ground beef taco. It adds freshness and crunch to the taco and absorbs some of the meat juices, but you can use it with any number of other fillings-up to you. The addition of salsa fresca to bland iceberg lettuce adds vibrant color and flavor.

Steps:
- Line a bowl with paper towels and have ready. Remove the outer leaves of the lettuce. Cut a V-shaped wedge around the inner core and remove the core and discard. Halve the lettuce to make 2 quarter sections. With a large, sharp knife, slice each section crosswise into a very, very thin julienne or julienne with a hand-held Japanese mandoline. Transfer the julienned lettuce to the paper towel-lined bowl to absorb any excess water exuded by the lettuce when sliced. Discard the paper towels, and in the same bowl, toss the lettuce with salsa and use immediately, or the lettuce will wilt.
