Simply open the bag and pour the desired amount into a bowl. You can dress it immediately with your favorite vinaigrette or creamy dressing.

This blend also works well as a fresh topping for tacos or wraps, offering a refreshing contrast to richer ingredients. Its versatility makes it a go-to for busy weeknights.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a single type of lettuce, this blend offers a more complex texture and visual appeal due to the distinct shapes and colors of romaine and red cabbage. The red cabbage also provides a slightly firmer bite and a subtle sweetness not found in romaine alone.
