How people cook with it
Vogerlsalat is a versatile green that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is most commonly enjoyed fresh in salads.

To prepare Vogerlsalat, gently separate the leaves if needed. It is best to use it soon after purchasing for optimal freshness. For salads, simply toss the leaves with your favorite dressing. A light vinaigrette or a warm bacon dressing complements its flavor well. It can also be added to sandwiches or wraps just before serving to add a fresh crunch. Avoid cooking it for extended periods, as the delicate leaves will become limp. It can be a lovely bed for grilled meats or fish.
