Edible parts

Leaves
Recipe idea for your organic 'Buttercrunch' Boston lettuce harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly picked leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if dirt is lodged in the folds, then spin them dry thoroughly. Tear large leaves into bite-sized pieces and keep the smaller ones whole. Whisk together a tablespoon of cider vinegar with three tablespoons of oil, a little mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour on only enough to coat the foliage. Add apple wedges, cubed 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 dressing better and prevents a watery plate. The thick ribs can be cut more finely than the tender parts to balance the bites. If combining multiple harvests, use the sturdiest leaves as a base and add the most delicate ones last.
