Also known as crisphead lettuce, these cabbage-like heads are the most popular lettuce in the US--and we can understand why! Crispy, crunchy, light, and refreshing, it's hard to go wrong with this low calorie summer treat. Make a traditionally wedge with bacon and blue cheese dressing; shred for salads or sandwiches; try stir-fried!

Store unwashed or completely dried, whole, wrapped in a towel in a reusable plastic bag in the fridge for up to a week. Remove leaves and wash as needed.
