1. Lay a square of parchment onto your work surface. Layer 4 – 5 pieces of lettuce in the middle of parchment paper. You can slightly split the thick, white base of the leaf with a knife to make it easier to roll.

5. Using parchment paper as a guide, roll the lettuce up as tightly as you can. Once you start rolling, tuck the ends of the wraps towards the inside, and continue rolling like a sleeping bag. When it is completely wrapped, tightly roll the remainder of the parchment around the lettuce.

6. Using a sharp or serrated knife, slice through the lettuce wrap almost completely, leaving the bottom piece of the parchment paper intact to keep pieces together. Enjoy!
