Oh, iceberg. You get such a bad rap.

They say you are all water, that you are lacking in vitamins. They whisper about your pale green complexion and reach for your richer-colored cousins.

Forget the combative wife who snaps at her husband: “You let them eat that?” You were just a salad, unjustly accused of the same nutritional crimes as candy and junk food.

Stand up, be proud. You are consistent. Snappy and refreshing, you add cool crunch to burgers and salads. And, oh, how you show your colors in this beautiful Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese from The Kitchn.

Always remember: you are a classic.
