This is a super easy recipe that doesn’t require a knife or a cutting board—just tear the lettuce by hand and toss everything together. The flavor is so addictive that one whole head of lettuce will disappear in no time!
It makes the perfect quick side dish or a snack with drinks, and even kids who aren’t fond of vegetables will enjoy it.
