summer salad wrap

Pure perfection served as a side or a main dish.  It's light, yet filling and perfect for those hot days when the last thing you want to do is eat hot food.

There really aren't any rules with something like this.  Basically, throw all the vegetables you have in a bowl, add some yummy beans, crunchy sprouts and a dash of lemon juice, wrap it in some lettuce and munch!

Doesn't this lettuce remind you of an ever-so-fashionable top knot?  Right.  So don't tell me this wrap isn't en vogue.
