We grow two kinds of Romaine at One Love Farm; green and red. Both taste great and have a wonderful crisp texture. Romaine is best known as a salad green, especially in Cesar Salad. The problem for vegetarians is Cesar Salad dressing usually has anchovies. So, I've added a link for a vegetarian Cesar Salad. Romaine leaves are also large and sturdy so they are great a great substitute for flat bread or tortillas when making wraps.
I like to harvest Romaine when it is very as a cut loose leaf and also in the traditional large heads. Either way, Romaine is delicious in salads. The key to a nice crisp salad is the wash the leaves well and spin them dry. Soggy leaves will dilute the dressing and make an untasty mess. Once dry, cut out any large ribs on the leaves and cut the leaves into small bite size pieces. Way better than any bland lettuce you will get at the grocery store! Let me know your favorite kind of lettuce.
