Iceberg wedges with ranch dressing

Iceberg wedges with ranch dressing are a refreshing and simple dish perfect for a quick lunch or a starter for dinner. This delightful combination pairs crisp lettuce with a creamy and flavorful homemade ranch dressing. It's easy to prepare and sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

4 cups lettuce
300g
1/2 cup mayonnaise
120g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
2 tbsp dill
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Whisk them together until smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill to the mixture. Stir well to integrate all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the acidity by adding more lemon juice if desired.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Prepare the Lettuce:
- While the dressing is chilling, wash and dry your iceberg lettuce thoroughly to ensure its crispness.
- Cut the lettuce into wedges. For serving 4 cups, you may want to cut a whole head of iceberg lettuce into 4-6 wedges, depending on the size of the lettuce. Ensure each wedge is manageable for serving.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- Arrange the lettuce wedges on individual serving plates or a large platter.
- Once the dressing has chilled, drizzle it generously over each lettuce wedge. Be sure to pour enough so that each bite of lettuce is well-coated with the creamy goodness of the ranch dressing.
4. Garnish and Serve:
- For added flair and flavor, you can sprinkle extra fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) over the top of the dressed lettuce wedges.
- Optionally, add a grind of fresh black pepper for a subtle kick.
5. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the iceberg wedges with ranch dressing immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce.

Tips:

- Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly washed and crisp. You can achieve this by soaking the iceberg wedges in ice water for a few minutes before draining and patting them dry.

- For a smoother ranch dressing, whisk the ingredients until well combined, or use a blender for a creamier texture.

- Feel free to customize the ranch dressing by adding your favorite herbs or spices, such as chives, garlic powder, or onion powder.

- Let the ranch dressing chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Serve the iceberg wedges with a sprinkle of additional herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.

Iceberg wedges with homemade ranch dressing are not only delicious but also a healthy and refreshing choice. The crispness of the lettuce combined with the rich, tangy dressing makes for a versatile and delightful dish. Enjoy this easy-to-make recipe for any meal or occasion.
