The Best Lettuce For Bundling Sandwiches And Burgers
To avoid the bread that comes with your hamburger, you can use lettuce as a substitute. Out of all the lettuce varieties available, the best type for the job is red and green lettuce.
Red and green lettuce have large, wide leaves that can cover the burger without falling apart. They are also relatively sturdy and stay dependable while handling.
Romaine makes a good second choice due to its wide outer leaves. Iceberg lettuce and its wide, crispy, bowl-shaped leaves are another good choice.
Lettuce can be used as a gluten-free swap in many different dishes, such as wraps and tacos. It’s a great way to eat your favorite dishes without the carbs.
