Butter lettuce, which is just Iceberg's fancier cousin, used to be my favorite, but even most grocery stores have stopped selling it (or at least promoting it). braslvr I too, like dressing...helps spruce up even the most boring salads. But, I'm reminded of the calorie count from the iceberg wedge at a steakhouse I dined at in Denver a few months ago....they managed to turn an innocent lettuce into a 1850 calorie culinary ecstasy.
