Does anyone know how much roamaine lettuce I am going to need in order to get 8 cups for the Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad recipe?? I have made this recipe before, only we used iceberg not romaine. The store up the road has a three pack of romaine hearts for 1.98 and I just need to know how many packs I should get.

Thanks
 
I just use the amount that fills the platter or round bowl - I never measure the lettuce - and I use the romaine - its about 2 of the 3 pack...

Yeah I was going to do the round bowl, so thanks :)
 
I always use romaine and 2 is usually enough.
 
That's what I'd do, too. And if you need to stretch the salad a little further, add the 3rd. ;) Heck, it's salad, not rocket science.
 
I use iceberg lettuce.
