Salad Wedges with Dried Beef Dressing

I admit, I am a lettuce snob, and you may be as well. Nevertheless, iceberg lettuce does have a place on our plates. I still like it on sandwiches, and in a few obscure salads. This is one. If you like dried beef -cream cheese dip or shit on a shingle, you'll probably love this too.

Cut a head of iceberg lettuce in half, then wedges- 4 or 6 or 8, depending on how many are eating or appetite sizes.

In a small bowl, soften 8 oz cream cheese. If you're extremely careful you can use the microwave but let me warn you, there is only a quarter of a nanosecond between 'soft' and 'melted'!
If you do use a microwave, you can mix this dressing by hand instead of a mixer.

With the cream cheese, beat 1/3 c. milk, 4 tsp drained horseradish, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 c diced green pepper, 1/2 c. finely chopped dried beef, 1 tsp finely grated onion.

Spoon over the cold lettuce wedges and top with sliced ripe olives.
