Iceberg lettuce doesn’t have the best of reputations.  Most people associate its crunchy texture and cheaper price with bad salad bar experiences and bland school lunches.  But I guarantee that a traditional wedge salad, a tasty chopped salad, or a crisp Italian salad like this one will forever change your mind about iceberg.

Here, crunchy shreds of iceberg lettuce are served with sliced red onion, mozzarella and provolone cheeses and pickled pepperoncini.  I added some ripe wedges of tomato to the salad as well, which goes perfectly with the easy homemade Italian dressing. The dressing gets its tang from white wine vinegar and a touch of sugar, along with oregano and a creamy touch of mayonnaise.
