Third Stop: Spicy Greens - yay!

Spicy greens give salads, you guessed it, a spicy flavor. These greens are usually sold as baby greens so they are less spicy and peppery in flavor. Arugula is one spicy green that has become popular at farmer’s markets and grocery stores due to its versatility for salads, sautéed in entrees, and even baked on pizzas. If you like the spiciness that arugula adds to your food, try adding variety with amaranth, mizuna, mustard greens, or watercress. If you can’t pick just one, that’s okay. You can make your own specialty mixes at most farmers’ markets due to the increasing popularity of mixed green varieties.
