A wedge of iceberg lettuce with crisp bacon and juicy tomatoes, drenched in blue cheese dressing, is a well-established American classic. But I often want to change up a classic, taking it into new territory. Here, wedges of leafy romaine are a fresh starting point to add crunchy fried peas, pickled onions, and a creamy sun-dried tomato dressing that’s reminiscent of Thousand Island, but better.

This recipe was excerpted from 'Vegetable Revelations' by Steven Satterfield, one of the best cookbooks of 2023. Buy the full book on Amazon.
