i'm not even sure why they grow iceberg lettuce. its got to be the suckiest
variety of lettuce around. try some romaine, baby spinach, radicchio,
arugula, or frisee. most grocery stores carry bags of prepackaged lettuce
mixes. try "spring mix" if you can find it. the textures and tastes are
great. my favorite salad is a simple salad with romaine lettuce, grape
tomatoes, sliced red onions and a few cucumber slices with a honey mustard
balsamic vinaigrette.
