Lettuce varieties each provide a different texture, color, and flavor for whatever fresh greens are called for. You might want to consider this special type.
To most people, a dressing of leaf lettuce on a burger or a pizza might look like a crime even if it adds a crunchy texture.
Apart from traditional lettuces, such as 'Cos', 'Iceberg' and 'Butterhead', there are many others to try, including loose-leaf types and oak leaf lettuce, radicchio, rocket and endive.
