Boston Lettuce Recipes
Boston lettuce, also called butter lettuce, is prized for its tender, cup-shaped leaves and mild, slightly sweet flavor. Its soft texture makes it ideal for fresh recipes where delicate greens can shine without overpowering other ingredients.
Use Boston lettuce in simple green salads, lettuce cups, wraps, sandwiches, and elegant side dishes. The leaves hold fillings well, making them a favorite for chicken lettuce wraps, shrimp salad cups, and low-carb taco or burger wraps.
Because Boston lettuce is delicate, it is usually served raw or added at the very end of a dish. Pair it with bright vinaigrettes, creamy dressings, crisp vegetables, herbs, citrus, seafood, poultry, and soft cheeses for balanced, refreshing recipes.
