Cook’s Note

If you can’t find Little Gem lettuce, substitute 12 cups torn romaine (3 hearts) or Bibb lettuce (4 heads).

Pickled Red Onions: Thinly slice 1 medium red onion (1 1/3 cups) and put slices in a pint-size canning jar. In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns (optional) until sugar is dissolved. Pour vinegar mixture over onions. Let stand, covered, at room temperature 1 1/2 hours. Drain. Makes 3/4 cup pickled onions. (Chill up to 2 weeks.)
