butter lettuce
Soft salad leaves
Butter lettuce is a variety of lettuce with soft, loosely folded leaves and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
The name comes from the tender, almost buttery texture of the leaves.
Boston and Bibb are the two main types.
Butter lettuce works well in salads where delicate greens are preferred: I'll use butter lettuce for the wraps.
