Notes&Tips:

• *Chive Pesto recipe has been posted on this site.

• I came across these Artisan mini lettuce in my grocery store several months ago, now they are my favorite to serve. Almost no cutting/tearing is required as I generally serve the leaves whole with toppings and dressing on the side.

• Use this Artisan lettuce as your blank canvas. Pair with your favorite fruits and/or vegetables.
