Lettuce Talk Greens
Why not? What lettuces (or any greens) do you like and on what? What do you NOT like, or not like on something?
I'm not a huge iceberg fan, but I like that classic iceberg wedge salad with bleu cheese dressing and crumbled bacon. It's great with a steak.
I'm not a huge romaine fan except in caesar salad for some reason. That's a great salad. But in a sandwich like a pita, no. Or an Italian hero, no. In fact NO lettuce on my hero please!
For salads I like arugula. I like the peppery bite, small leaf size, and crispness. A good salad can have many things... pears, nuts, provolone, hearts of palm, lemon vinaigrette, whatever. I love arugula.
Spinach salads are okay, not my favorite. Don't find much use for the raw leaf.
The mesclun or baby field greens type salad mixes are pretty good but I don't find them to be very substantial. Once you dress it and toss the salad the greens seem to disappear!
For certain sandwiches I'm a big fan of the soft, buttery leaf lettuce like bibb. Bibb is fantastic. Goes great on things like BLT and chicken sandwich. Anything with meat and mayo. I also like watercress. You could stick watercress in any pita or Middle Eastern sandwich and I'd be happy.
No lettuce or cabbage on tacos for me. Very fresh pico please! Pickled onion? Sure. Radish, salsa. Yup. Save the whole lettuce vs. cabbage drama for ya mama. It's a taco!
Love slaw! Any kind of slaw. I like traditional, mustard, mayo-free oil and vinegar slaw, red cabbage (shaved paper thin) slaw, ginger slaw. I make slaws like salsas. Always experimenting. Love them! You can put slaw on dawgs, pulled pork, sliders, whatever you want.
Radicchio. Now this stuff is good grilled. I like the long radicchio (lungo trevigiano). Split it lengthwise, add olive oil, honey, lemon, sea salt, and pepper powder. Let it work its way in. Grill flat side down over low flame, turn over for a few minutes, then put on the warmer rack flat side up. Leave it up there 20-30 minutes and serve with your grilled meal. Also try the same way with maple syrup, butter, chipotle powder, and sea salt. Great stuff! Trust!
Cooked you say?
Collards. Nuff said.
