Notes

Find the core of the ice burg lettuce. thinly slice off the brown of the core, but leave the core intact. Cut in half through the core, then slice into desired wedge sized slices. For smaller portions you can get 8 wedges from one head of lettuce.
Only dress the sections you will be eating. Store leftover lettuce in fridge.
