Spring Salad Greens Recipes

Each Spring, fresh salad greens burst onto the market scene. It's a good time to take a break from everyday lettuce.

Spring greens encompass a variety of leafy treats, including spinach, lettuce, mesclun, and more in a rainbow of colors, textures, and flavors. Whichever varieties you decide to sample, look for leaves that are fresh looking and free of slimy spots or browning. For locally grown greens, the less processing, the better.

To keep greens, store them unwashed in a plastic bag for 2-3 days. Before using, rinse thorougly in cold water and pat dry.
