Not that much of the same produce isn\u2019t available, but rather, the hardier winter greens &#8211; like arugula, spinach, endive, escarole, cabbage, sorrel and watercress &#8211; are so affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these greens are pretty easy to find in your produce section. However, if you want to take the simple route, buy a ready to use bag. Just pick the bag called \u201cmesclun or &#8220;spring mix.&#8221; The mix of lettuces will vary depending on who is packaging it, but the greens will complement each other in flavor.<\/p>\n<p>There are three types of lettuce: head or cabbage, curled or leaf and romaine.\u00a0 Choose head lettuce or cabbage that is firm, compact and heavy for its size. Its color should be uniform and bright with no yellow spots.\u00a0Cut the base out with a sharp knife.<\/p>\n<p>For romaine lettuce, look for a head with tight green leaves with no yellow spots or wilted leaves. Trim the base from the leaves. You can use the whole leaf, or cut or tear the leaves into bite sized pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what type of lettuce, before you serve it, you should rinse your greens very well (there can be lots of dirt hidden in the folds) in cold water. You should also follow proper guidelines to ensure there are no bugs.<\/p>\n<p>Next, drain the leaves in a colander, on paper towels or use a salad spinner. If you don\u2019t want to use the leaves right away, store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lettuce<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0Tips<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To shred: \u00a0Roll several leaves together, like a cigar, then the roll cut crosswise into thin slices.<\/li>\n<li>For wraps or cups, use leaf lettuce instead of tortillas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bibb Lettuce\u00a0with\u00a0Warm Veggie\u00a0Vinaigrette<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0(meat)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>6 to 8 servings<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ingredients<\/span>:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em>1 small red onion, very thinly sliced<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00be cup red wine vinegar<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Kosher salt<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00bd cup water<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>6 oz.\u00a0kosher breakfast beef<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00be cup olive oil<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>1 large carrot, julienned into 2- by 1\/8-inch pieces<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>1 parsnip, julienned into 2- by 1\/8-inch pieces<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>8 sprigs thyme<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>crushed red pepper<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into \u00bd-inch dice<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>1 small (10 oz.) celery root, peeled and cut into \u00bc-inch dice<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>2 head(s) Bibb lettuce, leaves separated<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Instructions<\/span>:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a medium bowl, combine the onion with \u00bd cup of the vinegar, 1\u00bd teaspoons of salt and the water.
