Lettuce is very easy to grow and is a versatile and delicious vegetable, making it an excellent choice for any vegetable garden. There are many different types of lettuce, including butterhead lettuce, iceberg lettuce, loose-leaf lettuce, oak leaf lettuce, Lollo Bionda, Lollo Rossa, and romaine lettuce. Lettuce is wonderfully refreshing on warm summer days and is perfect for salads or as a crisp topping on sandwiches. It can also be cooked, braised, grilled, or steamed. For a refreshing summer dish, try making a delicious chilled lettuce soup.
