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.
