Cooking tips

  • Do not overcook the lettuce—blanching for more than 6–7 seconds will cause it to lose its crispness.
  • Adding salt to the boiling water helps preserve the bright green color of the lettuce and keeps it vibrant longer.
  • Lettuce naturally has a mild sweetness, so there’s no need to add sugar—the subtle flavor of plum syrup blends perfectly without overpowering.

Recommended for

  • Those with lots of leftover lettuce looking for a creative way to use it up.
  • People wanting a quick, easy, and unusual side dish with minimal prep time.
