The Perfect Lettuce Bun
Whether you are watching carbs, eating keto, or you just want to get more daily vegetables, here's how to make the perfect lettuce bun.
Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
Instructions
- Cut one firm head of iceberg lettuce in half from core to top.
- Take each half, count three layers from the outer edge toward the center and separate one of the halves into two pieces.
- Repeat on the other half to have four pieces total—two large outer pieces and two smaller inner pieces.
- Focusing on the smaller pieces, count three layers and remove the innermost layers of the lettuce head and set aside to use for a salad. Carefully trim out the core as needed.
- Once you have four distinct three-layer pieces, trim out any thicker pieces as well as making the pieces smaller and completely round to better fit a burger. Save all of the trimmings for a side salad.
