Green Leaves Salad:

Spinach - Tender and sweet and are delicious raw or cooked
Red Chard - Ideal for brightening up salads, red chard has a distinct flavour and, when young, can be treated like spinach and eaten raw or cooked.
Rocket - Also known as arugula, ruccola and roquette, this thin spiky leaf has a strong peppery flavour and has long had a role in Italian cookery.
Watercress - Has a distinctive ‘raw’ flavour, both peppery and slightly pungent.
Tatsoi - Lustrous dark green leaves have a delicate mustard flavour with a crunchy but succulent and juicy stalk.
Oak leaf - This leaf is the softest of baby leaves and, as a result, is smooth and mild in flavour and texture.
Frisee endive - This is a spiky firm textured leaf, which is mildly bitter with a slight grainy texture. Also known as curly endive, frisee is a form of chicory
Lamb's lettuce - Slightly nutty flavour,mild sweet-ish taste provides a good balance for slightly more bitter leaves and goes well with a mustard dressing.
