- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the panko until golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in kosher salt and garlic powder and let cool.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced shallot, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cut the iceberg lettuce in half, then slice each half into 3 wedges. Remove any wilted outer leaves.
- Place the lettuce wedges on a serving platter and generously spoon the dressing over each wedge.
- Top with toasted breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chives, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute the iceberg lettuce with romaine lettuce for a different flavor.
Feel free to add other toppings like crispy bacon or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor.
Make the dressing ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to a week.
