Spring mix lettuce is a vibrant and delicate blend of young, tender greens, often including baby lettuces, arugula, chard, and spinach. The leaves vary in texture and flavor, combining mildly sweet, earthy notes from baby spinach with the slight pepperiness of arugula and the subtle bitterness of red and green lettuces. This mix adds a refreshing, crisp base to salads, enhancing both visual appeal and taste with its variety of colors and nuanced flavors. Its tender leaves are best enjoyed fresh to preserve their light, airy quality.
