How to Cut Romaine Lettuce

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 romaine lettuce

  or as many as needed

Instructions

• 1 Simply use a knife to cut strips (across) from the top to the bottom of the
  lettuce head in your desired thickness.
• 2 Slice the romaine in half lengthwise. Turn the halves cut-side-up and remove the
  tough core using a V-shaped cut.
• 3 Either slice across to create long strips OR slice down, lengthwise, through the
  lettuce to divide it into thirds or quarters first, then slice it across, as
  thin or thick as you’d like.
• 4 Place it in a large bowl of water to swish around (any grit will fall to the
  bottom). Alternatively, place it in a colander under running water and swish.
  
  Then drain the lettuce well and pat dry (or use a salad spinner). This is the
  easiest way to wash between all the leaves, rather than attempting to clean
  between each leaf when it’s still an intact lettuce head.
