• Step 1: Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel or paper towels. Tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
• Step 2: Prepare your desired dressing or vinaigrette according to the recipe instructions. Drizzle the dressing over the romaine lettuce and gently toss to coat the leaves evenly.
• Step 3: Add your choice of protein, vegetables, and toppings to the salad bowl, arranging them in a visually appealing way. Popular options include grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell peppers, croutons, shredded cheese, and toasted nuts or seeds.
• Step 4: If serving the romaine lettuce recipe as a wrap, gently place the dressed leaves onto individual tortillas or lettuce leaves, then top with your desired fillings and roll up tightly.
• Step 5: Refrigerate the prepared salad or wraps until ready to serve, ensuring the romaine lettuce maintains its crisp texture.
