"'Oh, Anne, mayn't I help you cook the dinner?' implored Diana. 'You know I can make splendid lettuce salad.'" (from Anne of Avonlea, by L.M. Montgomery) The recipe is from the Anne of Green Gables Cookbook. I usually substitute a yellow or other colored bell pepper for the green.

Steps:
- To make dressing, mash the hard-boiled egg with a fork in a small bowl. Measure and add the rest of the ingredients and stir.
- To prepare salad, fill a basin with very cold water. Separate the leaves of the iceberg and romaine lettuce and swish them around in the water. Tear the stems off the spinach leaves and discard them. Put the leaves into the cold water with the lettuce.
- Cut the celery, green pepper, cucumbers, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside in large bowl. Slice the mushrooms thinly and add them to the rest of the vegetables.
- Dry the lettuce with paper towels, tear them into bite-sized pieces, and add them to the other vegetables. Toss the salad.
- Dry the spinach leaves with paper towels. Line the salad bowl with the spinach leaves so that they peek out around the edge.
- Mound the tossed salad in the middle. Serve in individual bowls with a dollop of Thousand Island dressing.

LETTUCE WEDGE SALAD WITH TRISHA'S EASY THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING
Steps:
- Wash the lettuce and remove any damaged or wilted outer leaves. Remove the lettuce core and discard. Cut the head into quarters and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and the ketchup. Add the Tabasco sauce and pepper to taste. Place a lettuce wedge on each serving plate. Drizzle with the dressing.
- Quick Lettuce Core Removal Tip
- Slam the head of lettuce down on a cutting board, core-side down. The core will separate from the rest of the head with a twist and come out easily.
- From Trisha
- This dressing also makes a great topping for burgers.
- From Gwen
- There are no pickles in the dressing, thus no "islands." I call it Rushin' Dressing because you can mix it quickly when you are rushing to get dinner on the table.
Tips:
- Choose the right lettuce. Use a sturdy variety like romaine or iceberg lettuce that can hold up to the dressing and toppings.
- Cut the lettuce wedges evenly. This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Don't overcook the bacon. It should be crispy but not burnt.
- Use a good quality Thousand Island dressing. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand that you like.
- Add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Conclusion:
Lettuce wedge salad is a classic American dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crisp lettuce, flavorful dressing, and variety of toppings, lettuce wedge salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
