1 LETTUCE Darker leaves are more nutritious. Leaves should be fresh and green, not wilted, brown or slimy. Refresh limp leaves by placing in ice water. Cooler temperature will keep lettuce fresher longer. Iceberg stores the best. Should be free of wilt, rot and rust. Check package expiration dates on pre-washed bagged lettuce. Romaine Long shape, darker outer leaves provide Vitamin A Light and mild taste Provide crunch in sandwiches and tacos. Rinse just before serving in cold water. Pat dry. Wrap fresh, unrinsed leaves in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for a few days. Usually eaten raw; often in a salad. Varieties can be mixed. Tear lettuce leaves with your hands; do not cut as it browns quickly. The mild flavor of fresh lettuce leaves pairs well with fresh or dry herbs. Salad dressing clings best to dry leaves. Toss with dressing just before serving.
