Earthbound Farms Spring Mix Salad Greens
What it is
This is a pre-washed blend of tender, young salad greens. It typically includes a variety of delicate leaves like baby spinach, arugula, and leaf lettuces. The greens are harvested at their peak freshness, offering a vibrant mix of colors and textures. It's designed for convenience, providing a ready-to-eat base for salads.
How people cook with it
Spring mix is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many ways. It's perfect for quick meals or as a fresh addition to various dishes.
- As a salad base
- Topped with vegetables
- Mixed into sandwiches
- Garnished on plates
To prepare, simply open the bag or container and pour the desired amount of greens into a bowl. You can dress them with your favorite vinaigrette or creamy dressing. For a more substantial meal, add toppings like chopped vegetables, nuts, seeds, cheese, or grilled chicken. It can also be lightly wilted in a pan for a warm side dish or added to pasta dishes just before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to single-variety lettuces, spring mix offers a more complex flavor profile and a wider range of textures. The mix of peppery arugula, mild spinach, and crisp lettuces provides a more interesting eating experience than a plain head of iceberg or romaine.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag or container tightly to maintain freshness. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the greens within a few days of opening to enjoy their crispness and flavor.
