This winter greens salad doesn’t just use garden variety produce (pun intended). Using local, sustainable produce, we’ve put together a salad that goes far beyond your standard lettuce, spinach, and kale. There may be a few vegetables you’ve never heard of, like Parisian carrots, but get curious!
What Are Winter Greens?
Winter greens are typically darker in color and more bitter in flavor than summer greens. They include savoy cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, arugula, rapini, and other leafy greens like that (including some less conventional ones like the aforementioned Parisian carrots). A winter greens salad can pair great with winter citrus for a celebration of late season crops.
