Edible parts

Leaves
Recipe idea for your 'Match' lamb's lettuce harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly harvested leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if any soil is caught in the folds, then spin-dry them thoroughly. Tear large leaves into bite-sized pieces and keep the smaller ones whole. Mix a tablespoon of cider vinegar with three tablespoons of oil, a little mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour over only the amount needed to coat the leaves. Add apple wedges, diced cheese, and a few shelled sunflower seeds. Toss with your hands or two large spoons to maintain volume and serve immediately. Well-dried foliage holds vinaigrette better and prevents a watery plate. Thick stems can be chopped more finely than the tender parts to balance the bites. If you are combining multiple harvests, use the sturdier leaves as a base and add the more delicate ones last.
