Frisee Lettuce, a form of chicory, is renowned for its delicate, slender leaves tinged with a gentle yellow at the core and transitioning to a light green. The frilly edges give way to a mildly bitter flavor that adds a pleasant complexity to salads and garnishes. Each leaf boasts a crisp texture that pairs well with the creamy richness of dressings like classic vinaigrettes or blue cheese. Frisee Lettuce is often a star in the sophisticated French frisée aux lardons salad and mixes beautifully with other greens to create a visually stunning and texturally varied salad base. Besides its culinary uses, this leafy green includes nutrients such as folate, vitamin A, and vitamin K.
