Salads have becoming much more confusing over the years. We have moved from iceberg and romaine to a variety of weeds, leafs, and greens. Spring mix and mixed greens can be found on even casual restaurant’s menus. Still the components of these mixtures can be a mystery to even the most knowledgeable foodies. Some of those greens would even surprise some chefs.
Years ago while working for a restaurant called Paradise Grill a chef taught me to identify these greens. I was recently asked by a guest about a particular leaf and was stumped. So as a refresher I have been boning up on my greens knowledge. Some of these are very interesting, so I decided to share the information with all of you. This list is by no means comprehensive, but does serve as a good primer to those who are curious.
