The flavor of butter lettuce is very subtle: it lends itself to countless creative pairings.This crisp and refreshing lettuce pairs well with shrimp and chicken salads. The leaves make an ideal wrapper for Southeast Asian lettuce-wrapped dishes. This type of lettuce is excellent braised or added to soups.

To store, keep chilled to maintain crispness.
