The funny thing is, there isn't any lettuce in this "salad". It's all vegetables, the best part of a salad if you ask me. There is very little nutritional value with lettuce, so why even bother. Sure, it's a great filler, but why not fill up on a wholesome medley of vegetables instead of filler.
This recipe does take some time to prepare, but it is well worth it and you'll definitely have people asking you for the recipe. And by all means, change it here and there with your favorite veggies to custom make it for your taste.
