  • 1 head head iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the Lettuce: Begin by slicing the head of iceberg lettuce in half, then cut each half in half. You'll end up with four quarters, one quarter per salad.
  2. Clean the Lettuce: Dilute fruit/vegetable wash with water in a bowl as instructed on the bottle. Carefully lower the lettuce into the bowl and soak for a few seconds. Rinse the lettuce with cold water and pat gently with paper towels to dry.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Place each lettuce wedge on a plate, rounded side down. Drizzle each with blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with toppings.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy! You may also chill the assembled salads in the fridge for up to 30 minutes prior to servings.
