Did you know that romaine lettuce is a source of protein? A head of romaine lettuce head is 17% protein, and each serving provides approximately 1 gram of protein. At 2 grams of dietary fiber per serving, it also supplies double the dietary fiber of the other three most commonly consumed types of lettuce: iceberg, green leaf, and butterhead. It’s also packed with more vitamin A than a carrot!

If you are new to leafy greens, romaine lettuce is a great lettuce to try first—the taste isn’t as strong as other leafy greens and it has a great, crisp crunch to it. So enjoy this chopped salad that uses Romaine lettuce topped with mushrooms, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs and a sweet, tasty vinaigrette.

Romaine lettuce isn’t the only nutritious ingredient in this salad! Mushrooms are rich in vitamin B and cucumbers are low in calories!
