Lettuce Make Some Salad: Leftover Logic

Impulse buying is a problem for me every summer at farmstands on the East End of Long Island—the North Fork, that is, where we still have real honest-to-goodness farmers (and lots of wineries), not the South Fork, a.k.a. the Hamptons, which has honest-to-goodness celebrities. And lettuce—greens of all kind, really—are my weakness. After waiting all winter and halfway through spring for fresh produce and vegetables to grill, I turn into an adult version of the kid in the candy store, wanting everything I see.
Red and greenleaf catch my eye first, and I sometimes wonder if I’m decorating the kitchen instead of planning a menu. Truth is, I’m not planning anything, just grabbing produce—romaine, butter, and iceberg—because it all looks so fresh. Nevermind that I can only make so many salads over the course of one weekend. But I’ve learned to dig deep for vegetarian recipes specific to the kind lettuce at hand and to have a lettuce-based dish on the menu for days to come.
Here are some summer recipes that will give your lettuce the respect it deserves. (P.S. About that iceberg. The fresh kind bears almost no resemblance to the plastic-wrapped green bowling balls found at most supermarkets. It’s worth going out of your way to find a farmer who grows it.)
Spicy Asian-Chicken-Salad Lettuce Cups
If you can find fresh iceberg go for it. Otherwise use bibb or butter (a.k.a. Boston) lettuce.
Butter Lettuce Salad
There’s something so elegant about this simple salad, which if fact has more going on than might first appear.
Strawberry Romaine Salad
Why not combine the fresh romaine with another favorite of the season: strawberries?
Iceberg Lettuce with Cucumber Dressing
For this one, you really gotta have the fresh iceberg, which is wonderful with a cool cucumber dressing.
Boston Lettuce Stacks with Grilled Peaches, Feta and Pecans
Call this salad irresistible. Maybe it’s the fresh peaches. Or the feta. Or the lettuce!
Check out all these great summer salad recipes!

Generally grown as a hardy annual, lettuce is easily cultivated, although it requires relatively low temperatures to prevent it from flowering quickly. It can be plagued with numerous nutrient deficiencies, as well as insect and mammal pests and fungal and bacterial diseases. L. sativa crosses easily within the species and with some other species within the Lactuca genus; although this trait can be a problem to home gardeners who attempt to save seeds, biologists have used it to broaden the gene pool of cultivated lettuce varieties. ;..,`
