Lettuce, Using

If lettuce starts turning a little brown (but not slimy) it may not be suitable for salads - but it is for sauteing. Sauteed salad greens like lettuce, radicchio, and endive make an unusual but tasty side dish. Saute lettuces just as you would spinach. Cook them quickly in a little olive oil, minced garlic, and salt. They taste great, and you can't tell that the greens were once a little brown.
