Salad mix
Description
The salad mix (arugula, lamb's lettuce, iceberg lettuce) combines diverse textures and flavors: arugula brings a peppery-nutty note, lamb's lettuce offers a delicate, buttery taste, and iceberg lettuce adds crunch and a fresh, neutral base, creating an attractive green mix with varied appearance and leaf structure. Nutritionally, they are low-calorie sources of fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, folic acid, and minerals such as potassium and calcium; arugula additionally contains nitrate compounds and antioxidants that may support the circulatory system and have anti-inflammatory effects. In the kitchen, the mix works well in salads, sandwiches, wraps, as an accompaniment to grilled meat, fish, or pizza, and as a fresh element in cold dishes and smoothies; it pairs well with citrus fruits, cheeses, and nuts, as well as light vinaigrettes. It is best to wash the leaves just before consumption, store them in the refrigerator in a perforated bag or container with a paper towel, maintaining coolness and moisture at a dry to moderate level — use within 3–5 days.
