Lettuce wraps are like salad, remixed: We've saved the best parts like leafy greens, dressings, and toppings and taken away forks and plates. Still the same great beat and beautiful harmonies, but with a new vocalist and perhaps a piano flourish. Maybe the remix outshines the original? Only you can be the judge. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully cut a shallow circle around the stem with a small knife, then remove circle.
