What it is
This is a pre-washed blend of tender, young salad greens. It typically includes a variety of delicate leaves such as baby spinach, arugula, red leaf lettuce, and oak leaf lettuce.

How people cook with it
Spring mix is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It provides a fresh and healthy foundation for salads.
- Salad base
- Sandwich filling
- Garnish for cooked dishes
- Added to smoothies
To use spring mix, simply open the container and pour the greens into a salad bowl. You can then add your favorite dressing, vegetables, fruits, nuts, or proteins to create a custom salad. It can also be tucked into sandwiches or wraps for added freshness and a bit of crunch. For a quick meal, toss with grilled chicken or fish. It can even be blended into smoothies for an extra boost of greens without altering the taste significantly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to heartier lettuces like romaine or iceberg, spring mix offers a more delicate texture and a wider spectrum of flavors. The individual leaves are typically smaller and more tender, providing a lighter bite. The variety in the mix also contributes to a more complex taste profile than a single type of lettuce.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to incorporate fresh greens into their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to keep the remaining spring mix in its original container or an airtight bag. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent wilting. Consume within a few days of opening for the best quality and taste.
