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.
