Eat Seasonably Use Them Up Tips for Curly Lettuce

  • If you think your lettuce is a bit past its best, make sure you pull off the outer leaves as you may well find that there are plenty of good ones still inside. Try making a delicate salad with lots of lovely soft herbs like chervil, parsley, basil and mint and dressing with a light buttermilk dressing (which you make by whizzing up a little grated garlic, some lemon juice, buttermilk, mayonnaise and olive oil)
  • Lettuce makes a really delicately flavoured soup – try making with cucumber, peas and mint.
