Q: Lettuce has always been on our table as a wonderful decision for decorating salads, microwaved meat dishes, and vegetable plates. Have you ever wondered if lettuce itself could be microwaved as part of a sandwich or alongside the grilled meat leftovers?
Why Do You Need to Microwave Lettuce?
You have made lettuce sandwiches for your child to eat at school and he or she didn’t, but they didn’t give it to a bird or the running animal. Instead, they wanted to eat their sandwich with lettuce later at home. Therefore, you need to microwave the sandwich to make it edible again. Won’t it harm the lettuce inside?
Another case is when you cook a really fast Ceasar salad from the products that you have taken right out of the fridge. You want to warm them up fast so you open the door of the microwave oven, stop here and think to yourself if you can do that to the lettuce.
The answer to all of your questions concerning if lettuce can be easily microwaved is yes, it can.
Microwaveable Lettuce and Chicken Salad

- Lettuce – 0.5 – 1 loaf
- 1 roasted chicken
- 150 g of bacon
- 340 g of canned corn
- 4 pieces of canned pineapple
- 3 tomatoes
- 5 of a cucumber
To make the sauce, take:
- 300 ml of sour cream
- 1 tsp of curry
- Salt
- White ground pepper
First, take the whole roasted chicken and remove the skin. Clean it from the bones and cut the meat in pieces.
Microwave the bacon for 2-3 minutes at 800 Watt.
Line the dish with the lettuce leaves and top it with tomato lobules and cucumber bars.
Sprinkle with the corn, then place the pineapple, finish the “mountain” with the chicken, and sprinkle with the bacon that you have chopped before.
Set the salad aside in a cold place and start to prepare the sauce.
For this, mix all the sauce ingredients together and add the pineapple syrup to regulate density. Let the sauce sit in a cold place to get to readiness, then use as needed.
