I like variety in lettuce. Sometimes iceberg just hits the spot,
although I wouldn't want it all the time. A thick wedge of cold, crispy
iceberg with thick blue cheese dressing is a favorite of mine. Or try
this:

One hardboiled egg, coarsely chopped
One tablespoon finely diced onion
One part catsup
Three parts mayonaisse

Mix and let sit at room temperature for an hour. Serves one as a main
dish, or two as part of a meal.
