Blending a decent serving of mixed greens lies in consolidating surfaces. For instance, the freshness of romaine with the delicateness of margarine lettuce, hues - the red of radicchio and the dim green of watercress, shapes - the round leaves of mache, the tangled leaves of wavy endive, flavors - sharpness of endive, pepperiness of arugula, tastelessness of chunk of ice, poignancy of roan. It is commonly savvy to begin with milder greens (spread lettuce, romaine) and complement them with fiery, severe, and tart greens. Be that as it may, it is likewise conceivable to make a serving of mixed greens of only one green - endive, ice sheet, romaine, spinach - with proper accents.

Margarine lettuce (and Bibb, Boston, limestone, buttercrunch) - free leaved heads, delicate surface, and sweet, rich flavor.
Wavy endive (chicory) - wavy leaves extending from dull green to light green, thorny and severe taste, to zest up blander greens.
Escarole (expansive leaved endive) - paler and straighter than wavy endive, and less harsh, however severe in any case. Use sparingly.
Icy mass lettuce (crisphead) - tight heads, gentle flavor, fresh surface.
