Edible parts

Leaves
Recipe idea for your 'Edox Red' Boston lettuce harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly harvested leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if soil has lodged in the folds, then spin them dry thoroughly. Tear the large leaves into bite-sized pieces and keep the smaller ones whole. Mix a spoonful of cider vinegar with three spoonfuls of oil, a little mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour on only the amount necessary to coat the foliage. Add apple wedges, cheese cubes, and a few shelled sunflower seeds. Toss with your hands or two large spoons to maintain volume and serve immediately. Well-dried foliage holds dressing better and avoids a watery plate. The thick ribs 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.
