Tender Bibb lettuce is an excellent choice for chicken salad, shrimp salad, lettuce wraps, burgers, and sandwiches. Its broad leaves also make a great base for a simple salad topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, pecans, or your favorite dressing.
Artisan lettuce can bring extra color, texture, and visual appeal to everyday meals. Toss it with seasonal vegetables and vinaigrette for a quick side salad, pair it with fruit and nuts for something special, or use those fresh leaves to add a crisp finishing touch to your favorite sandwich.
You can also make your meal even more local by looking throughout your neighborhood Piggly Wiggly for other Alabama-grown and Made in Alabama products to serve alongside your Extreme Green Farms lettuce.
