Most of us think of lettuce as just a salad ingredient, but lettuce is actually quite a versatile green.
If you’re tired of salads, or if you’re just looking to try something different, here are 5 easy tips for making the most of your lettuce in a creative way!
1. Grill it
Grilled lettuce has a nice smoky flavor and a fabulous texture! For best results, split the heads of Romaine and marinate in dressing of your choice. It only takes about 2 minutes of grilling on each side! Here’s a good recipe: http://www.grouprecipes.com/62650/grilled-romaine-lettuce.html
2. Make lettuce soup
Lettuce works very well in the place of other leafy greens in soups. Check out this easy Lettuce Soup recipe with potatoes: http://www.bostonorganics.com/lettuce-soup/re/lettuce-soup
3. Add to your stir fry
Lettuce is an excellent addition to your typical stir fry! Chop up the leaves and throw them in towards the end for a few minutes until the lettuce becomes slightly limp.
4. Make lettuce wraps
Use large leaves of lettuce instead of a tortilla, and fill with your favorite ingredients! The lettuce provides a crisp, refreshing texture and works well with a variety of fillings. This is also a great sandwich alternative for anyone who is gluten intolerant!
5. Braise lettuce
Braised lettuce is a French classic, and it very easy to make! http://www.bostonorganics.com/braised-lettuce-with-peas/re/braised-lettuce-with-peas
