Hi Jordan,
Thanks for reaching out! There are many ideas for what you can plant in place of your lettuce after it bolts in midsummer. Here is a helpful UMN Extension article that lists what plants do exceptionally well when planted in July: https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-news/what-can-you-plant-mid-july
Personally, I've planted sugar snap peas and green beans after my lettuce has bolted. I've also started a fall harvest round of lettuce and other greens by planting it at the end of July. This article has other vegetables and herbs that you may consider: https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/planting-vegetables-midsummer-fall-harvest
I hope this helps!
