NOTES : Here is an easy way to use up lettuce leaves which are not crisp
enough to
use in a salad.
You can substitute 1 1/2 Tablespoons for the lemon juice.
For microwave ovens lower than 700 watts: 500 watts: add 40 seconds to
every
minute stated in recipe. 600 watts: add 20 seconds to every minute stated
in
recipe. 650 watts: only a slight increase in overall time necessary.
