Thursday's Kitchen Cupboard - Celtuce Salad

Celtuce and roasted sweet mini peppers with sesame ginger dressing.


Mini sweet peppers roasted with a tad of olive oil for about 10 minutes until slightly brown.
Celtuce salted for about 10 minutes to remove moisture or bitterness if any, rinsed and set aside.
Toss peppers and celtuce in a salad bowl with your favorite dressing, serve cold or at room temp.


Following pictures are from last year's celtuce salad post.

 Peel and cut off tough skin.


Slice and cut into bite size, sprinkle salt and mix thoroughly, 
set aside for about 10 minutes then rinse off salt.
The celtuce is ready to be tossed into a salad or stir fry with other vegetables (or meat).

Yum! Is the texture of the stir fried celtuce similar to gai lan?

Mac said...

Robin, Stoney Acres, Julie,
Thank you.

Nartaya,
Yes, cook faster than gai lan, taste sort of like a cross between cucumber and lettuce.

I like the sound of something that tastes like a cross between cucumber and lettuce - I will have to seek it out.

Liz,
You might like it, it is a variety of lettuce but grown for its stem.
