With over 100 varieties of lettuce out there, choosing the right lettuce
With over 100 varieties of lettuce out there, choosing the right lettuce for your meal can be overwhelming! Here's a little lettuce 101, as well as helpful tips to keep in mind for your next trip to the grocery store. • There are four general lettuce classes 1) Butterhead - called Boston or Bibb. It comes in looser heads and has a buttery texture. Best lettuce to use as your Chop Salad base. 2) Crisphead - called Iceburg, forms tight, dense heads that resemble cabbage. Most common type, known for its crispiness and less for its flavor. Because of its crunch, its best to use shredded iceberg lettuce in tacos. 3) Romaine - forms in longer heads. Most commonly used in Caesar salads, it has a more bitter/herb taste. Of all the classes of lettuce it packs the most vitamins and minerals. 4) Leaf - forms in leaves that branch from a single stalk. Colors can range from medium to dark green; some with red-tipped leaves. The leaf lettuce closely follows Romaine, ranking 2nd highest for amount of vitamins and minerals. Best used on sandwiches. • When shopping for any kind of lettuce always choose heads or stalks that are free of blemishes, and whose leaves look most crisp. • Keep in mind that the darker green leaves contain the most nutrients. • Like all greens, lettuce should be washed and drained completely or blotted with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. • We recommend washing and using lettuce, as you need it, so that excess water doesn't sit and collect on your ...

www.livinggardenseries.com lettuces in the vegetable garden are so yesterday. The trick to a beautiful, productive, delicious garden is to plant a salad mix. I hadn't even thought of that until I listened to Jane--about the third time. Jane talks about salad mixes, not lettuces. The difference is as beautiful as it is delicious.

I found this recipe here: www.savannahbee.com Makes 12 servings 1 Tablespoon walnut oil 1-1/4 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar 2 Tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce 2 Tablespoons honey 1 cup shredded carrots 1/3 cup sliced almonds 12 leaves Boston Bibb or butter lettuce Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry. Add 2 teaspoons oil to a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chicken until cooked thoroughly, about 7 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and honey until thoroughly mixed. Add chicken, carrots and almonds. To serve, allow guests to scoop chicken mixture onto a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito. Recipe courtesy of the National Honey Board. I ate this as leftovers about 2-3 days later and the taste really mellowed and settled in. Consider making this a day in advance and then warming up.
