I found a recipe on Epicurious that calls for "8 cups coarsely chopped lettuce leaves including ribs (3/4 lb)," which will certainly make a big dent in what we have. And the recipe says "any salad greens, including lettuce, arugula, spinach, and watercress, will work fine," so maybe we could even use some of the dandelion greens the CSA gave us. They're kind of big and tough, and rather bitter--not much good for salads.<br /><br />Then we'll wrap the rest of it up in damp towels and hope for the best...Amy Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362533758291353748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276531209730408101.post-40178033451375273642010-06-22T11:55:15.520-04:002010-06-22T11:55:15.520-04:00I tried to comment on this the other day but somet...I tried to comment on this the other day but something messed up.<br /><br />LETTUCE SOUP!!! I've never tried it but I hear it exists... And I bet you can use the Magic Bullet blender to make it!<br /><br />We did a CSA one year, and found that we never got as much as we wanted of the vegetables we like, but we got lots and lots of radishes. I learned that they can be steamed and stir fried, as well as sliced up in your salad... In the end it didn't feel like a good deal for us.Amy Khttp://www.broadside.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276531209730408101.post-58516434370301303132010-06-21T21:28:46.486-04:002010-06-21T21:28:46.486-04:00Wash the head of lettuce upright (so water goes do...Wash the head of lettuce upright (so water goes down between the leaves) then gently turn it over and shake it out. Wrap it loosely in paper towels (lightweight cloth ones may also work) and put it in your vegetable crisper drawer. Depending on the type of lettuce, it can stay good for up to three weeks that way.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275989951161851719noreply@blogger.com
