Lollo Rosso

Lollo Rosso lettucefrom our plot

Frilly, burgundy-tipped leaves that turn a plain salad bowl into something rather beautiful. It's pick-and-come-again, so a single plant will give you weeks of leaves — snip what you need and let the rest carry on growing.

Mixed leaf salad with shallot vinaigrette

Tear the frilly leaves, toss with a dressing of finely diced shallot, red wine vinegar, Dijon, and olive oil. The ruffled edges catch every drop.
