What it is
This is a mix of tender, crisp green and red lettuce leaves. The leaves are carefully selected for their texture and color.

How people cook with it
This lettuce blend is ideal for creating fresh salads and adding a vibrant touch to sandwiches and wraps.
- Fresh green salads
- Sandwich filler
- Garnish for main dishes
- Wraps and rolls
Begin by gently separating the leaves. Rinse them thoroughly under cool running water to remove any soil or debris. Pat the leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner for best results. Once dry, you can tear or chop the leaves to your desired size. Combine with your favorite dressing, vegetables, and other salad ingredients. It can also be layered into sandwiches or wraps for added freshness and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
This artisan blend offers a more diverse texture and visual appeal compared to single-variety lettuces. The combination of green and red leaves provides a slightly different flavor profile and a more substantial bite than some delicate lettuces.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy preparing fresh, visually appealing meals will find this lettuce blend useful.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining lettuce fresh, store it unwashed in its original packaging or a loosely sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. Ensure it is kept away from ethylene-producing fruits to prevent premature wilting. Use within a few days for optimal crispness.
