I don't know about you, but I am always looking for healthy meal options for my family. I also want easy weekday dinners. This recipe accomplishes both and is a family favourite recipe. I highly recommend it. For me, the challenge is always finding the best lettuce. We have tried iceberg, it falls apart, Butter or Bib lettuce is usually small, Boston lettuce is often hard to find in Toronto, but it works best, and in a pinch I'll use Romaine. Romaine is not the best option. The wonton crisps are a nice touch and add some crunch. Try using Fresh Gourmet brand if you can find them.
