Don’t forget the Bibb~ for lobsters, crabs, ribs, and this amazing Bibb Salad Spectacular! Bibb lettuce is really the same lettuce as Boston or Butter lettuce, with its appearance, texture and delicate taste. Bibb is a slightly smaller version of the variety…making it the perfect size for whole individual servings It has a mild, sweet flavor and is packed with essential nutrients and vitamins. The leaves are loose, crisp, velvety tender and delicate~ making it the perfect salad for any lettuce wrap too. Bibb up this Holiday with a Bang Up~ salad display!
