California Wedge Salad

A wedge salad is simple to make and delivers delightful flavor and crunch. A staple for venture capitalists at MacArthur Park restaurant, Palo Alto, the wedges are made with common iceberg lettuce. If you don't need that crunch as you talk your deal, there is better flavor and health benefits using romaine lettuce. The toppings here are suggestions - use what you like, but the creamy dressing and crumbled cheese are essential.

1/2 cup creamy dressing, such as Ranch, or Creamy Peppercorn (see recipes)
