TURN OVER A NEW LEAF

By TheresaJ

Soft, crunchy, sweet or bitter, explore the variety of green goodness when you toss up the fixings for your favourite salad. Leafy greens are great on their own or as a base for a variety of ingredients.

Ingredients

• ARUGULA Peppery, green, terrific with sliced fresh fruit and even stirred into a hot pasta dish
• BOSTON LETTUCE Delicate, soft and buttery, bruises easily so tear gently; try a tarragon-based dressing
• BELGIAN ENDIVE Crunchy, mild, bitter bite; toss into mixed salad, top with cream cheese and walnuts for hor d'oeuvres
• RADICCHIO Favourite in northern Italian kitchens; bold, distinctive leaves tangy, mildly bitter taste, excellent fresh
• RED LEAF LETTUCE Salad favourite thanks to soft, delicate leaves that retain any flavour
• ROMAINE Iconic green with the long, crisp leaves; drizzle individual leaves with honey for flavour sensation
• ESCAROLE Bold outer leaves, pale, delicate-flavoured centre; try steamed with garlic, hot chilies, olive oil
