Iceberg lettuce doesn’t rate real high on my “Favorite Lettuce” list.  (I don’t really have such a list!)  But, sometimes, iceberg is on sale for so little that I can’t pass it up and this salad is good!

Start with:

One head iceberg lettuce, cored and cut into quarters

Dressing:
1 c. plain yogurt
1/2 c. mayo
1 package Ranch dressing
2 T. spicy mustard

Mix the above ingredients and put in the fridge for a few hours.

Candy Coated Pecans (recipe follows)
1 c. crumbled bleu cheese or feta cheese
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 c. chopped tomato

Candy Coated Pecans – cut 1 c. pecan halves in half. Place in pan. Turn heat on medium. Add 1/2 c. sugar. Stir constantly til sugar melts. Dump onto a greased plate. Let cool and break apart.

To assemble salad:

Put a lettuce wedge on a salad plate. Top with crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes, candy coated pecans and bleu cheese. Pour a generous amount of dressing over each wedge.
