Stuffed Iceberg Salad Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling

Yield: 2 Servings

15 15

Ingredients

1 medium head iceberg lettuce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup julienned sliced deli ham
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon diced pimientos
1/4 cup salad dressing of your choice

Directions

Remove and discard core from lettuce. Place lettuce core side down and cut in half with a plastic lettuce knife from top to bottom (save one half for another use). With knife, remove enough leaves from the center of the cut side of lettuce to create a 2-in. circle, about 1-1/4 in. deep.
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and curry powder. Stir in the cheese, ham, celery, parsley and pimientos. Spoon into center of lettuce. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until serving. Cut in half, forming two wedges. Serve with salad dressing. Yield: 2 servings.
