Did you know that head lettuce is crunchy and refreshing? Its taste is fairly mild, so don't hesitate to liven it up with various herbs and seasonings, citrus juice or zest, extra virgin oil, cheese, pesto, nuts, fresh fruit, etc.
Did you know it is better to tear your lettuce by hand rather than cut it with a knife? This will prevent premature oxidation that causes rusting.
