Mesclun (homemade mix)
$3.99
Our original mesclun is composed of a variety of sweet and colorful lettuces (Amish Deer Tongue, Salad Bowl Green, Parris Island Cos romaine, Lollo Rossa, and Selway red leaf lettuces) to which we’ve added a range of chicories carefully chosen for their slightly spicy taste (Fine de Louviers, Catalogne red, Scarole Batavian), all enhanced by the shapes, textures, and colors of Osaka Purple red mustard and Midnight Red amaranth.
