Method
Serving the humble iceberg lettuce as a wedge salad is a great way to maintain crunch, texture and freshness. The dressing elevates this salad to an entertaining worthy dish, that won’t cost a fortune and is super simple to prepare. Estimated cost per serve: $1.40*
- Cut lettuce into 8 equal sized wedges and place on a serving platter.
- Heat half the olive in a small non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add garlic and fry until lightly golden.
- Remove from pan and set aside for later. Add remaining oil and capers to the pan and fry until crispy. Set aside with the garlic.
- For the dressing, combine all the ingredients together in a food processor, pulsing until finely chopped.
- To serve, drizzle dressing over lettuce wedges and top with fried capers and chives.
