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 :)
