Final Destination on the Green Train..

Three popular combinations of mixed greens include Mesclun, Oriental mix, and Baby mix. Mesclun is an interesting mix of nine different greens imparting sweet, bitter, peppery, and sometimes herb or flower flavors. Oriental mix isn’t quite as popular but contains a variety of uncommon greens that impart zesty, minty, and spicy flavors. A Baby mix is self-explanatory and includes a mixture of textures, flavors, and colors. Now, wasn’t that what we were looking for? If you’re reluctant to buy that whole bag of arugula or Belgium endive, perhaps these popular mixed green combinations can help spice up your salads, literally.
