I had an arugula salad last night that wasn't too bitter, it had a creamy avocado dressing and I think it helped the bitterness.

I served an arugula salad at Thanksgiving. Called it Liberal Elitist salad. Made me laugh.

My father usually says that the only salad greens he likes are iceberg and romaine, but he'll eat arugula if it's served to him, so that he can honestly call himself an arugula-eating liberal elitist. (My family is weird about political foods. My sister started eating broccoli when Bush said that he'd always hated it and, now that he was president, he wasn't going to eat it anymore. I gave it another try then, but still couldn't stand it.)

iceberg gets a bad rap because normally people eat about 20 calories worth with 150 empty calories in the form of dressing. Iceberg actually has a pretty good fiber to calorie ratio. For that matter about 40% of the calories in iceberg is protein. And it has a decent vitamin A to calorie ratio as well.
If you want iceberg as part of a healthy meal, increase the quantity of iceberg, and make the "dressing" something healthy (not neccesarily low calorie, just non-empty calories). For example 8 oz of iceberg is not at all a bad basis for a taco salad, depending on other ingredients. But if it would be a healthy meal without the lettuce, it will be even healthier with 8 oz of shredded iceberg.

That's interesting...I didn't know.(And sometimes people serve it with one leaf in the grave, too.)

8 oz is a lot of iceberg. But I've always liked it, because it's so cold and refreshing and crunchy. It gets a bad rap.

Nothing is like the texture of iceberg. It's wonderful.

When I was a kid I thought I didn't like salad. It wasn't until I tried some mesclun that I discovered that actually, I just didn't like iceberg. I'll eat if if it's on a taco or burger or something like that, but in a salad, I like other greens (except arugula) much better.
