What it is
Margaret Holmes Mixed Greens are a blend of tender, young leafy vegetables. This product offers a variety of textures and mild flavors, making it a versatile base for many dishes.

How people cook with it
These mixed greens are a convenient way to add fresh flavor and color to your meals. They can be enjoyed raw or lightly cooked.
- Salad base
- Added to sandwiches
- Wilted into pasta
- Blended into smoothies
To use, simply open the package and drain any excess liquid. For salads, toss with your favorite dressing and other ingredients like vegetables, nuts, or cheese. If you prefer cooked greens, you can sauté them briefly in a pan with a little olive oil and garlic until just wilted. They can also be added to soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking to add a fresh element. For a quick meal, stir them into hot pasta or rice dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike single varieties of lettuce, this mix provides a more complex flavor profile and varied textures. Some greens might be slightly peppery, while others offer a milder, sweeter taste. This combination creates a more interesting eating experience than a plain head of lettuce.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to incorporate fresh greens into their diet will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused greens in the original packaging or a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to maintain their crispness and freshness. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent wilting.
