Shred the mango and the carrot into sticks using a food processor, or a sharp knife. Mix the mango, carrot, grapefruit, radishes and spring onions together with the herbs, beansprouts and peanuts. Mix in the dressing and leave to sit for 2 mins. Serve in a bowl next to the pile of reserved lettuce leaves. Spoon the salad into the lettuce leaves and eat with your hands.
