We've all done it -- you're eating a salad and you find yourself digging out all the good stuff and leaving the lettuce to wilt in the leftover dressing. We've got nothing against lettuce, but sometimes the other stuff is more interesting and we have to be true to our stomach's desires.
If you find yourself wasting all of your lettuce time and again, it might be time that you start making salads with no lettuce. Like, none at all. Just vegetables, dressing, maybe a grain or a cheese and the sweet taste of freedom. We pulled together a few options to get you started below (including a few that are really summery, because we want you to have something to look forward to). Now get out there and eat your vegetables.
