Kid-Friendly Non-Salad Lettuce Recipes

ChrysalisCove

I’m taking DS to a farm tomorrow for a community harvest & we’ll be receiving 3kg (6.5lb) of lettuce. Not certain of the variety - either butter or green leaf.

None of us are huge fans of raw salads and DS, being a typical 6yr old, isn’t going to touch one with a 10ft pole. I have a couple of recipes for Thai- and Chinese-style lettuce wraps. We’ll use a head or two for smoothie cubes. But... that is a LOT of lettuce!

Anyone have great kid-friendly lettuce recipes?

Grilled salad is a great eat them. Halve small lettuces, and quarter large ones. Drizzle olive oil on the cut sides. Grill cut sides down on a cast iron griddle pan and dot afterwards with either blue cheese dressing, ranch or balsamic vinegar. You can also do this in under the broiler on a BBQ instead of the griddle pan. In the broiler you can also melt cheese into them.
