The best way to use mesclun is in a salad. Does the mix have spicy mustard, baby romaine, red lettuce, and tatsoi? Think about playing with flavors that complement it, like chopped bacon with blue cheese, olives, sweet red peppers, and a sprinkling of lemon zest.

  

Nutrition and Benefits

Like with other leafy greens, mesclun mixes are rich in vitamins A and C, with a small dose of potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, iron, and calcium.

If your mesclun mix contains a lot of baby spinach, you’ll get more iron and protein. Endive offers fiber and vitamin K, and sorrel is rich in calcium and zinc. Peppery mizuna is packed with antioxidants, and baby red lettuce has lots of Vitamin K. No matter which leaves you to choose, mesclun is a healthy choice.
