Other ways to enjoy lettuce besides a salad is using it instead of buns for burgers and also incorporating them in soups.
Now let's see what the next letter for week 6 is:
Remember to get creative with your vegetables and incorporate them in your recipes.
Leave us a comment to let us know what vegetable you tried this week and how you incorporated it into your meals.
