Lettuce Wraps | Quick Veggie Lettuce Wrap Salad

Summer is getting hot by the day in most parts of India. Until a couple of days back, standing in the kitchen was quite a task, let alone cooking elaborate meals. Salads and soups were our go-to options. Thankfully, it has been raining here in Bangalore during the evenings for the last two days, bringing in chills in the wind making the climate quite pleasant! Yay 😀

For our dinners, I had been making some quick salads – beats the heat and saves a lot of time too. I am a big lover of iceberg lettuce and when I got a big fresh batch from the market, I wanted to make a nice veggie salad. Hot or cool, I would love to make this salad again and again in my kitchen. There is not much of a recipe – you can throw in any vegetable in desired quantities and toss everything together in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and herbs. When it is time to serve, just fill up the lettuce leaves with the tasty salad and viola – you are done!! 😀

Note –

Any combination of vegetables can be used for making this salad.
Don’t overcook the vegetables as they need to have a crunch.
The veggies in this salad are added to the pan in the order of cooking time required.
If desired, a dash of olive oil can be drizzled on top of the served salad.
Lemon juice is optional and can be added just before serving if desired.
