Happy Seasonal Sunday!
Butter lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce, is one of those ingredients that’s easy to pass by, but it’s worth a second look. The leaves are soft, delicate and truly melts in your mouth, making it perfect for simple, fresh meals.
The different names come from its history. Bibb lettuce was grown in Kentucky, while Boston is a slightly larger variety, today they’re all commonly grouped as butter lettuce because of that smooth texture. It grows best in cooler seasons, so spring is when it really shines.
Instead of the usual toast, this is perfect for wrapping. My chickpea “chick’n” salad works so well tucked into these soft leaves, light, fresh and easy.

I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
