Put the lettuce leaves and carrots in separate bowls of cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain thereafter.
Tear the lettuce leaves into small pieces, approximately square in size. Make smaller pieces if serving as an accompaniment.
Arrange the lettuce pieces in one corner of a large tray, fruits in another and carrots in the third leaving sufficient margin in the centre.
Put the dressing in a bowl and sprinkle nuts on top. Place the bowl in the centre of the tray.
Let the guests help themselves by putting some fruit on lettuce leaves, a little dressing on top and finally sprinkling carrots on it.
