Iceberg lettuce has a bad reputation, and for good reason. It's often watery, bland, and boring. But there are a few things you can do to make iceberg lettuce salad more flavorful and interesting. First, choose a head of iceberg lettuce that's heavy for its size. This means that it's fresh and has a lot of water content. Second, chop the lettuce into small pieces. This will help it to absorb the dressing more evenly. Third, add some other ingredients to the salad, such as fruit, vegetables, herbs, and cheese. This will give the salad more flavor and texture.
