These greens are a versatile base for many meals. They can be dressed simply or incorporated into more complex dishes.
- Quick side salad
- Sandwich filling
- Topping for soup
- Component of a grain bowl
Open the bag and pour the greens directly into a bowl. You can add your favorite dressing, such as a vinaigrette or creamy dressing, and toss gently to coat. For a more substantial meal, add ingredients like grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, nuts, or seeds. They can also be added to sandwiches or wraps just before serving, or used as a fresh topping for hot dishes like chili or pasta.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole heads of lettuce, these pre-washed greens eliminate the need for washing and chopping. The variety of leaves in the mix provides a more complex flavor and texture profile than a single type of lettuce.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly to maintain freshness. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the greens within a few days of opening for optimal quality and taste.
