Experimenting with different flavors helps you discover new tastes
Part of the fun in meal preparation is trying out new ingredients and recipes that are outside your norm. Salads are a healthy favorite throughout the year, and Cal-Organic Farms® has you covered when it comes to leafy vegetables that are good in salads.
Our iceberg lettuce is a tried-and-true favorite, but don’t rule out the kaleidoscope of other colors, textures and flavors at your disposal to feed your leafy vegetable curiosity. For example, did you know that dandelion greens can add a unique flavor twist to a salad? We have two varieties, green and red, that you can use to add a bold, peppery taste to your salad. As a bonus, dandelion greens come packed with vitamin C, fiber and a variety of healthy minerals.
Our extensive variety of leafy vegetables ranges from cilantro and other herbs to lettuces, kale varieties and more. You may even stumble upon some interesting options you’ve never tried before.
Leafy vegetables serve as a great base for multi-ingredient salads
Mouth-watering salads depend on fresh, leafy vegetables to set the stage for a memorable meal experience. Whether your salad is the first course or the main course, you can depend on our selection of greens and lettuces to provide a tasty foundation.
Green romaine lettuce and varieties of chard are popular leafy vegetables that make great salad starters. Romaine lettuce is commonly used in Ceasar salads, while the strong flavors found in chard pair well with offsetting mild ingredients such as Parmesan cheese and fruits. You may find that adding milder leafy vegetables such as spinach or butter leaf lettuce provides a pleasant mix.
