Edible parts

Leaves
Recipe idea for your 'Xalbadora' mini romaine lettuce harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly harvested leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if any 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 enough to coat the leaves. 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 leaves hold vinaigrette better and prevent a watery salad. The thick ribs can be chopped more finely than the tender parts to balance the bites. If you are combining several harvests, use the sturdier leaves as a base and add the more delicate ones last.
