    I love most salads. And I have to say that I love this beautiful beautiful Boston lettuce vegetable salad, too. And no, that isn’t just because I live near Boston.

    Okay, maybe a little.

    😉

    I find Boston lettuce leaves rather delicate-looking. They are soft and look like little cups, which makes it perfect for little roll ups.

    Did you know that Boston lettuce is actually a butterhead lettuce and can be used interchangeably with other butterheads like bib and butter. So, if you look for butterhead lettuce salad or bib salad, you’re talking about the same lettuce. I love these little facts.

    How to make a salad with Boston Lettuce

    Step one

    Gather the ingredients – lettuce, avocado, cucumber, orange bell pepper, baked zucchini and tomatoes.

    Step two

    Tear the leaves in bite sized chunks and place them in a medium sized bowl. I also added some basil leaves.

    Step three

    Line the baked herb zucchini in the middle of the salad.

    You can use whatever vegetables you like, but this zucchini is very delicious.

    Step four

    Line grape tomatoes beside the zucchini.

    I grab the bowls, forks and green goddess dressing and get ready to serve the salad!

    Christopher picks up the dressing and gets ready to pour.

      Boston lettuce is the best! And not just because I live outside Boston. 😉
