Lettuce Wrapped Salad

Lettuce wrapped salad is a healthy alternative meal or you can make this as a simple side. These are easy, light and super tasty dish with full of colorful vegetables. This also has a antioxidant-rich dried cranberries. This is a great and healthy substitute for Tacos with a fresh and crispy lettuce leaves. I love to serve this because it has a great source of protein and we are vegetarians with no eggs. My husband and I were never been a huge fan of salads, but when we started trying with variety of combinations, we started liking it. And now my husband can live on my homemade salads.  

We can do it with whatever vegetables we like. Add tofu or cheese (indian cheese) for extra flavor and it will make you full for longer. Make dressing according to your taste. If you like tangy flavor go for ranch dressing, creamy flavor go for caesar dressing, vinegratte, honey mustard, french, italian and make it in a way you like.
