Oak leaves have a mild, sweet, and nutty flavor, and with age, some bitterness may become present in the mature leaves. Oak Leaf lettuce is well suited for fresh applications and is most commonly paired with other lettuces and greens such as red butter, romaine, radicchio, arugula and frisee for textural contrasts and varying flavors. The combined greens serve as an edible vessel to ingredients of diverse flavors from rich to bright, earthy, savory, and sweet. Green Oak Leaf lettuce can also be used in wraps, sandwiches, fresh rolls, and tacos, or used as a bed for cooked meats, stir-fries, and grilled fish. Green Oak Leaf lettuce pairs well with avocado, citrus, berries, mushrooms, root vegetables, red peppers, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, garlic, shallots, ginger, bulgur, wheat, poultry, fish, bacon, and herbs such as cilantro, mint, coriander, and turmeric.

The leaves will keep up to one week when wrapped in paper towels to absorb excess moisture and stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. It is also important to store the lettuce away from fruits such as bananas, apples, and pears as they release a natural gas which causes the lettuce to wilt.
