Ever notice all the different greens that make up “mesclun”? Mesclun, roughly translated from the Provençal dialect, means “mixture.” Many of the greens in mesclun mixes are available individually at the supermarket or at farmers’ markets or in your garden if you grow your own.

Dry, unwashed greens stay fresh longer. Blot any wet greens dry before storing in plastic bags. Refrigerate in your crisper for 3 to 5 days.
