Lettuce Cup with Peanut Butter Salad

Do you know that lettuce leaves make a wonderful

 tasty salad that could form as a cup or a bowl?

Delicious Salad with Lettuces

Most people use lettuce leaves as the side dish for 

steaks, chicken chop, grilled chicken and meat

 fritters.

Eating lettuce leaves on its own is sweet and crispy, 

especially when you dip into mayonnaise or salad

 dressing.

However, if you want more nutrients in your salad

 snack, you should try this Lettuce Cups  with 

Peanut Butter that gives extra special crunchy flavor

 instead of the usual salad dressing.

 

Peanut Butter gives the extra crunchy nutty creamy

 texture into salad , a great combo with the

 refreshing crisp lettuce that is chilled before hand.

Let’s get to the Lettuce Cups recipe now and let me 

know how this dish turns out for you!

If you can’t find any lettuce leaves, you can select regular chinesecabbage by cooking them in

 boiled water for 3 min.

Do not cook too long as it will become too soft 

and slimy.

 

How to choose lettuce

Most lettuce are sold in wrapped 

plastic. 

 

Although you may not be able to see

 the inner content, look out for wilted

 leaves. 

 

Lettuce should be fresh and crisp, the 

edges of the leaves should be green not

 brownish or yellowish.

 

 

Avoid dark spots or torn lettuce leaves.

 This means the lettuces had been

 mishandled or “sick” .

Since lettuce is a perishable ingredient,

 it should be displayed under the 

refrigeration department, not under 

open air or under the sun.

Choose dark green lettuce leaves that 

are better than light green.

 More vitamins, fibre and beta carotene

 nutrients.

Most of the outer leaves are damaged. 

Hence, take your time to choose the

 freshest leaves as possible..

Look out for the stems.

 Choose the stems that are not moldy 

and brownish. 

You can see the difference between a 

dry stem with a freshly cut stem.

 

How often do you eat cabbage?

How do you cook your cabbage?

Do you prefer soup, stir fry or stew cabbage dish?

Do share with me your opinion.

 I would love to hear from you.

Cheers!!
