I have no suggestions for a substitute for the lettuce, but I can suggest
chopped salads that have no lettuce or green leafy things of any kind.
Chop your favorite vegies, raw, like zucchini, cucumber, all colors of bell
peppers (green, red, yellow, orange), olives (black or green or both),
hikima (not sure of spelling) celery, yellow squash.
Chop everything into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle just a littel of your
favorite salad dressing on it. I wait until I am serving it before I put on
the dressing because the salad lasts for several days and I can change the
flavor each time I eat it.
I also add a little crumbled blue or fetta cheese. Just use your
imagination and enjoy.
Oh yes, onions, greend onions, garlic, it all goes well if you like these
things.

Subject: [CnD] Pomegranate and Poppy Seed Salad
I want to make the following salad. My husband is alergic to lettuce of
any kind, can't have spinach or cabbage. Any suggestions for substitutions
for the lettuce. Also it calls for pomegranate seeds. This doesn't sound
right. I thought one was supposed to eat the fruit and discard the seeds.
Any help is appreciated.

Did You Know?
Pomegranates add more than just great taste and brilliant color to
recipes. They're also rich in potassium and contain a good amount of
vitamin C. Substitution
If you can't find pomegranates, you can use 1 cup dried cranberries or
sour cherries. from
