DAMAGED Cooking: The Tip O' the Iceberg!!!

I have been trying to eat more salads lately. And it's not that I hate salads, quite the contrary: I love a good salad. The problem is that often they are relegated to the realm of a side or starter instead of a whole meal. And, often times, I'm craving one as a whole meal.



It was this need that I came up with the Tip O' the Iceberg, inspired by a salad that I once had at a roadside diner in West Texas. I think it was called a "Wedge", and, true to it's name, it was just a wedge of iceberg lettuce with some dressing on it. Nothing else. I like the concept, but the execution needed some work.

On a bed of mixed greens (iceberg, romaine, spinach, etc.), I placed the aforementioned wedge, so, there you go, more healthiness. You're welcome, Doctor. Wanting to add some flavor, I sprinkled some 2% mozzarella, pepper, some cut-up hard-boiled eggs and two/three halved-pieces of oven-baked turkey bacon. Top with a generous helping of fat-free blue cheese dressing and you're good to go. It's a filling dinner. And, best of all, it's extremely satisfying, which, in these times of strife and upheaval, is the best you can ask for in a quick meal.
