What's The Point Of Lettuce
27 Answers
This might be an "old chestnut". But ...
If you're making a salad, or a side salad ... would you put lettuce in it?
I made a salad yesterday ... cucumber, tomato, sweet corn, celery, carrot, green pepper. I was quite pleased with it.
As my pal shared the salad that I had expertly made, she maintained that a "salad" was generally lettuce based, with "other stuff" added.
I don't think I ever really buy lettuce.
My pal brought cannelloni. That was nice. Not sure if that's how you spell it.
I mean ... what's the point of lettuce???

The easy way to avoid that problem is not to put any salad dressing on in the first place. It's ghastly stuff (in all its various incarnations) which, if you are unfortunate enough to be landed with any, is best used to clean the grease off car windscreens. Some of the thicker varieties are quite good at preserving timber such as fencing in your garden (now that creosote is hard to come by). It has no place on a salad (but come to that, neither does lettuce).

//...but really like Romaine, in sandwiches egBLTs.//
One thing that should never be served up on the same plate is hot cooked meat and cold salad. Put the salad in a dish and serve it as a side (with the salad dressing served as a side to that so that it can be easily discarded untouched). I don't know the history of BLT sandwiches but whoever came up with the idea needs a sound thrashing.
