Valentine’s Day is a holiday I embrace. A celebration of love and kindness is my kind of holiday. It’s a way to let your loved ones and dear friends know how much you appreciate them.
I like to come up with dishes that celebrate the moment. Usually, it’s a chocolate molten cake or a chocolate brownie to sweeten the holiday. This year, I decided to surprise my husband with a savory dish that happens to be one of his favorite starters: the classic iceberg wedge salad.
This salad was on restaurant menus across the country in the 1950s, ’60s and early ’70s. I remember ordering this pale green wedge of goodness, topped with creamy dressing, as a young child. Sometimes it had simply crumbled blue cheese and sour cream dressing; others would be dressed up with crispy bacon and chopped tomatoes. This may be retro, but frankly it never goes out of style….
