Method

Step 1

Arrange the chopped salad items attractively on a plate with the lettuce leaves on one side as they are used as wrappers.

Step 2

In a bowl add the garlic to the soy sauce. Use this as a dipping sauce for the lettuce wraps.

Step 3

Squeeze the lime juice over the fruits. Place the salad in the fridge till ready to serve.

To enjoy your salad Vietnamese-style, wrap a little fruit, cucumber, bean sprouts and green chillies with the mint and basil in a lettuce leaf and dip in the soy sauce.
