To prepare, simply rinse the lettuce leaves under cool running water and gently pat them dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner. You can then toss them with your favorite dressing for a quick salad. For sandwiches and wraps, layer the leaves with other fillings to add a refreshing crunch. It can also be used as a bed for grilled proteins or as a light, edible garnish for various dishes. Its tender nature means it requires minimal preparation.
