    Yum! Slimy lettuce!

    Genuinely, I don’t know how you would go about cooking lettuce into a dish. Spinach or kale I get since they are tougher leaves, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard of cooked lettuce.

      Lettuce goes really well with a lot of Asian soups

          Soup, you can also just stirfry at high temp, it will still be crunchy if you fully cook it in about 90 seconds at like 375 degrees.

      It’s a traditional dish in the southern Appalachians and is called kilt (killed) lettuce, usually made by pouring hot bacon grease over lettuce.

        Fry some cubed potato in the grease first, maybe throw in carrot and other veggies, then add to the lettuce for a really good, but unhealthy salad.
