Lettuce is a leafy green vegetable that forms the base of countless salads and adds crunch to sandwiches and wraps. With varieties like romaine, iceberg, butterhead, and leaf lettuce, each brings a unique texture and flavor to your dishes. Rich in vitamins A and K, lettuce is low in calories and hydrating, making it a staple for healthy eating.
Beyond salads, lettuce can be grilled, used as a low-carb wrap, or even added to soups for a fresh finish. Its mild taste pairs well with bold dressings, proteins, and other vegetables. Whether you're making a classic Caesar or a creative lettuce cup appetizer, this versatile ingredient is a kitchen essential.
Explore our favorite lettuce recipes, from crisp garden salads to warm grilled lettuce wedges. Learn how to select the best heads at the store and keep them fresh longer with our storage tips.
