Repeat after me: “No more boring lettuce salads.” This summer, let’s challenge ourselves to go beyond our usual plates of mixed greens. Pick up some greens at the farmers market that you’ve never tried before. Swap your usual vinaigrette for something with some real pizzazz. Maybe even give those greens a quick sauté on the stovetop — warm lettuce salad? Why not!
Here is our guide to eating your greens this summer, including five new recipes that we can’t wait for you to try.
