How people cook with it
Spring mix is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways. It's perfect for quick and easy meals.
- As a salad base
- Tucked into sandwiches

To prepare, simply open the package and drain any excess moisture. You can use the greens immediately as the foundation for your favorite salad. Toss them with your preferred dressing, vegetables, and toppings. You can also lightly wilt the greens by adding them to warm dishes like stir-fries or pasta just before serving. Their delicate nature means they cook very quickly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike heartier greens like romaine or kale, spring mix features a more tender texture and a milder flavor profile. The variety within the mix provides a more complex taste and visual appeal than a single type of lettuce. The young leaves are more susceptible to wilting when dressed too far in advance.

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 the freshest taste and texture. Avoid washing the greens until just before you plan to use them.
