To taste fresh picked lettuce is something I thought I knew. We've eaten greens fresh from the farm before. It turns out that where the farm is and who is growing it is also important. Blue Moon Acres has started growing on a slightly larger scale and there is no comparison to the lettuces we've eaten in the past. These were tender and flavorful as well as incredibly beautiful. They only required a hint of dressing, a squeeze of lime and the pan juices from seared shrimp deglazed with a few tablespoons of wine, to make them spectacular.
*A quick tip that I learned from Peg. Lettuces can be washed in the salad spinner using the basket to drain them before whirling them dry. Perhaps everyone else already knows this although I've always used a separate bowl in the past. I learn something new every day...
