A world in a nutshell
The word lettuce "salad" probably triggers thoughts for most people, right next to the word "boring".
But I'll let you in on one of the simple secrets Salad: Salad is one of the most versatile dishes that you can do. Possible combinations of ingredients are so numerous that you can use two or three salads for a meal and not repeat an important ingredient! (Try it!)
