Notes
A crisp, refreshing home-style cold dish: after salting, the celtuce becomes especially crunchy and tender, with a slight heat that whets the appetite. It is rich in vitamins and dietary fiber and low in calories. Simple to make and beginner-friendly, it takes about twenty minutes from prep to table, and tastes even better chilled.
