The leaves of lollo rosso are tender and mildly flavored. Red leaf lettuce can be a real substitute for this kind of lettuce.

Lollo rosso can be used in salads and also as a garnish in different types of food.

It is healthy to eat it fresh, without any preparation because this would modify its texture and it would destroy most of its vitamins. (source)
