The leaves are most popularly added to salads with other greens as the curly leaves increase the surface area and can catch and hold salad dressing. The leaves can also be used as a garnish, layered in sandwiches, torn and sprinkled over soups, or served as a bed for cooked meat. Lolla Rosa Cooking
