So here is my cilantro lettuce salad w roasted cashews, crispy wontons and rice wine vinegar...so easy to make so delicious, so refreshing, so amazing. Don't be afraid of the much maligned iceberg lettuce, sure it's great with a burger, but even better as the star of the show here in this recipe.

There cannot be a better summertime recipe then this. The amount of refreshment this salad brings cannot be described with words alone, but please take note....this HAS TO BE SERVED COLD...IN A COLD BOWL...do not be a clown and serve it in a warm bowl!

I must give credit to my big sis, the BIRD who first showed me a verison of this dish. Happy to pass it along..
