Chef Gwen Talks about Little Gems, her favorite new lettuce, and shares two delicious recipes! :) Great Video.

Chef Gwen from Harvest Sensations in Los Angeles talks about her favorite new lettuce, Little Gems! She calls it a great combination of three lettuces: sweet butter, romaine, and iceburg. And, she loves how beautiful it is on the inside. It's "crispy and gorgeous... and the flavor is just wonderful," she says. We agree with you Gwen, we love it too! 

Below, she does a grilled Ceasar Salad that looks breathtaking. She says, "We are one of the only countries that does not cook our lettuce (USA), so if you've never tried grilled Ceasar Salad, give it a go, because the lettuce turns nutty and complex, and it's just a wonderful new variation. You're guests are sure to love it." In the video below she also uses Little Gems to make a European herbal salad, "This is a salad you might see in France or Austria, it's just delicious."
