Lettuce be honest. There's nothing like the fresh taste of a simple lettuce leaf to gently whisper, "It's finally summer. It's finally summer." There is the hint of crispness with enough flexibility to deftly hold onto the mustard vinaigrette you just whipped up.

These leaves aren't afraid of a sandwich either. They are just as at home dancing on top of a veggie burger as lounging in the pottery salad bowl your sister-in-law made that you bring out every time she comes over.
