I had most of a head of iceberg lettuce left over from taco night. I will never make a classic wedge salad again. I only had regular walnuts, and I toasted them before chopping. I used Pt. Reyes blue cheese, and gorgonzola would be great here, too. I dressed really lightly with lemon juice and olive oil. So simple, and so delicious.
