I’m just learning the difference between a good mixed greens dish and a really savory mixed greens dish. Of course, you have to learn your greens. Once you know what greens are, then you have to get the tang and the sweet just right. That takes some doing! And it doesn’t hurt to ask for a little help from someone who knows their greens. There are a lot of good cooks here in the South who are more than happy to share their wisdom with you. Remember, flattery will get you everywhere so be sure to eat your greens and compliment the cook. You’ll walk away with the best mixed greens recipes you could possibly want.
