I was looking for something quick and easy to do with the iceberg lettuce sitting in my fridge and thankfully I found this. At first I thought, "ketchup? Really? Gotta try this out!". I didn't have the salad in wedge form, just loose lettuce, but the real star is of course, the dressing! It was fantastic! Tangy with a touch of heat and sweetness.. so good! I'm definitely making this dressing more often! Thanks!
