Notes
How to cut a Wedge Salad:
- Start with a full head of ice berg lettuce. Remove the outside leaves, typically those leaves are somewhat thin and slightly wilted, or excessively dirty.
- Once the outside leaves are removed then we can cut the head of lettuce in half. Then each half will be cut into half again, leaving us with 1/4 of a lettuce head.
- A small chop to the bottom of the wedge will remove the remainder of the stem. (Step by Step Photos included in post)
