The idea that iceberg lettuce is not nutritional is an old myth. Actually, it is low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Iron and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate and Manganese. When you consider the extra crispness adding iceberg gives, it makes sense to include it in your salads.

I personally love Iceberg lettuce, and I do not like the other types of lettuce. It is very difficult today to actually go anywhere and get a salad with just Iceberg lettuce anymore, so thank you for saying what you did about it's nutritional value, I really appreciate it.
