This mix packs some heat, with some of our spicier greens added to the classic blend. Mixed red, green, and speckled lettuces, arugula, Wrinkled Crinkled Cress, and Ruby Streaks, amongst others. Not overwhelming by any means, but certainly friskier than the mild in its “cool” mustard heat. Like the above mix, it is intended for cut-and-come-again baby leaf salad.
