It pairs well with a variety of main courses, offering a crisp and slightly tangy counterpoint to richer dishes. Ensure it is kept chilled until ready to eat.
How it differs from similar foods
Witlof salads differ from other green salads due to the distinct flavor of witlof. Its inherent slight bitterness and crisp texture provide a unique eating experience. Unlike softer lettuces, witlof holds its shape well, making it suitable for salads that might sit for a short while. The preparation by Chef Select aims to balance this bitterness with complementary flavors in the dressing and any added ingredients.
