I do the same... served as wedges or thick slices iceberg offers great texture,
with all it's nooks and crannies a perfect medium for dressings to adhere.
Except for it's few dark green outer leaves I rarely use iceberg in a tossed
salad... it seems a shame to tear up the perfectly meshed marbled geometry of a
fine iceberg steak. A slab of iceberg between thick slices of vine ripened
beefsteak tomato, sprinkled with minced green onions, and topped with gushes of
that no-class international orange bottled freedom dressing... no other lettuce
works as well.
