Name: Iceberg Salad with Onions, Capers, and Parm — Alison Roman
Cuisine: European, Mediterranean
Ingredients: 1 small head of iceberg lettuce, cut into 1 ½-inch slices (crosswise) or classic wedges (yes, this is a lot of lettuce for three people, but what can I say, I am enthusiastic).; ½ small white or yellow onion, or 1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings; 2 tablespoons or so of capers, coarsely chopped so they don’t roll around everywhere; 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar, plus more if you need it (I like my salad impossibly tangy); kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; olive oil, for drizzling; about 1/2 cup (more or less) parsley, finely chopped; a few sprigs oregano or marjoram, leaves removed, finely chopped; a good hunk of pecorino cheese, finely grated (about ½ cup), plus more, if you like

2 steps

This salad goes with everything, and is exactly how I like it (acidic, herby, and mostly iceberg lettuce).
