Romaine Lettuce
How do you know when Romaine Lettuce leaves are ready to eat?
my dad and i have been growing a lot of romaine lettuce plants in our back yard fro a few months. how do we know when we can eat them??
Pretty much anytime. Lettuce is ready to eat from when it comes out of the ground to when it goes to seed. If it tastes good, it’s ready.

Romaine Lettuce
Refreshing Chicken Leaf Salad With Raspberry Dressing
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp canola oil, 3 Tbsp raspberry wine vinegar, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 1/2 tsp granulated sugar, 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless, 1 pinch salt, 1 pinch black pepper, 1 large head romaine lettuce, 2 medium green onions, sliced, 1/2 pint raspberries
Prepare Dressing:
1 In a small bowl combine oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and sugar. Stir till sugar is dissolved.
Place in fridge while preparing the salad.
Prepare Salad:
1 Take the head of lettuce and separate the leaves. Place the leaves in cold water in the sink or a large bowl to soak for a couple of minutes. Then rinse the leaves and shake off the excess
water. Tear the leaves into pieces and place in a large bowl. Wash and slice the green onions
and place in bowl with lettuce. Gently rinse the raspberries and place on paper towels to dry
and set aside.
2 Rinse the chicken breast and pat dry with paper towels. Season chicken with a pinch of salt and
pepper. Place on a small broiler rack and broil until the chicken is cooked. Cut the chicken into
strips.
3 Take the dressing out of the fridge and stir. Pour over lettuce and green onions in bowl and toss until leaves are well coated with dressing. Add cooked chicken strips and toss into salad. Place raspberries on top of salad and gently toss so as not to crush raspberries. Serve.

Cooking Tips:
If you are unable to find raspberry wine vinegar you may substitute red wine vinegar. It will not
be exactly the same but will still be good.
Raspberries are delicate so the less you handle them the better. Add them at the very end and
toss gently so they retain their shape. If you are unable to get fresh raspberries you may use
partially thawed frozen ones.

Which is better for you, the inner or outside of romaine lettuce?
Me and my dad have been arguing for a while
and I think that the greener part of romaine lettuce (not the inside of the lettuce, which is like a whiter/light green color) is better for you.
is this true?
or is the inner part of romaine lettuce better for you?
Lots of time, it’s the appearance of the food that makes it taste better or worse. The green leaves definitely have better “look”, but because of more greening, could be a little more bitter (due to the pigment flavor).
Romaine lettuce is a known “cancer fighter”, and most green leafy veggies are also high in fiber, so good for digestion, and boosting your immune system.
Doesn’t it depend on how you define “better”, as far as winning an argument? And sometimes, both sides are correct. It’s not an “either”, “or” sort of thing, when it comes to personal tastes and foods.
