mixed greens
Leafy salad assortment
Mixed greens are an assortment of young salad leaves sold together—typically including varieties like arugula, spinach, radicchio, and frisée.
The term appears on menus and packaging to indicate variety rather than a single lettuce type: I ordered the mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette.
Also called mesclun or spring mix.
