Leaf Lettuce Bread Recipes

LOW CARB LETTUCE BURGERS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Mix together the yogurt, adobo sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the burgers: In a bowl, combine the ground chuck, salt, black pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Form four patties and set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until done in the middle, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• For the toppings: Cut the base of each lettuce leaf on the head and carefully peel it away so that it stays as intact as possible.
• Top the patties with avocado slices, tomato slices, red onion rings and chopped pickles, then drizzle with the sauce to taste. Use two or three lettuce leaves per patty and wrap them around the patty as tightly as you can. Slice in half and serve immediately!

LEAF LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• Put the Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Sugar into a bowl and stir until mixed --
• Place in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to blend and to allow time for the sugar to dissolve --
• Remove the individual leaves from the main plant -- Do not cut, pull them apart --
• Rinse each leaf under cold water and shake excess water off the leaves --
• Remove the tender portion of the leaf from the stalk and discard the stalk --
• 'Tear' leaves into whatever size you think will fit into your mouth --
• This is enough dressing for about half a large bunch of lettuce -- Remaining lettuce can be stored in the refrigerater, covered, for use tomorrow --
• Start by tossing a third or so of the lettuce with the dressing and add lettuce until the lettuce is coated well with the dressing -- (you don't want a pool of sauce in the bottom of the bowl but you want the lettuce well coated) --
• This is best if the lettuce is mixed with the dressing just prior to eating -- The flavor won't change but the lettuce tends to get soggy after about an hour after mixed with the dressing -- .
