1 cup (medium) of Salad Mix (40 g) has 7 calories. That works out to 18 calories per 100 g. It contains 1.2 g of carbs, 0.6 g of protein, 0.1 g of fat and 0.8 g of fiber. Its 72 µg of Vitamin K covers 60% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Salad Mix is an assortment of fresh leafy greens, usually eaten raw. It is not one traditional dish with a fixed recipe: the leaves and their shapes can vary depending on the grower, shop or season. You may find it sold loose or ready to use.
The flavour is generally fresh and mild, while the texture ranges from tender leaves to crisp, ruffled ones. Toss it into a simple salad, layer it in a sandwich, or serve it alongside a main dish; olive oil and a sharp dressing make an easy pairing. It is a low-calorie source of fibre, with 18 calories per 100 g. For a more filling meal, add beans, egg or another protein-rich topping; keep dressing modest for a lighter bowl.

Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A salad mix usually combines several leafy greens, such as different lettuces, baby spinach, arugula, or similar leaves. The blend varies by product, so one mix may be mild and tender while another tastes peppery or includes more frilly leaves.
Keep salad mix cold and dry in a clean, covered container, with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Remove any damaged leaves and replace a damp towel. Moisture trapped among the leaves is a common reason the mix turns slimy quickly.
Wash salad mix unless its package specifically says it is washed and ready to eat. Rinse loose leaves gently under clean running water, then dry them thoroughly; wet leaves dilute dressing and spoil faster in storage.
You can freeze salad mix for cooked dishes, but it will not stay crisp enough for a fresh salad after thawing. The leaves soften and release water, so add frozen greens directly to soups, sauces, or other dishes that will be cooked.
Salad mix gets slimy when moisture and warmth encourage decay, especially if damaged leaves are stored with the rest. Discard leaves that are slippery or smell unpleasant, and keep the remaining mix dry and refrigerated.
Pair a bitter salad mix with a creamy or slightly sweet dressing, or combine it with milder greens and ingredients such as ripe fruit. Removing especially mature, tough leaves can also soften the flavor without masking the whole salad.
Dress salad mix just before serving. Salt and acidic ingredients in dressing draw moisture from tender leaves, making them wilt and lose their crisp texture if the salad sits for too long.
Yes, salad mix can be cooked, although its delicate leaves wilt quickly. Stir it into a soup, pasta, or pan of cooked vegetables near the end, just long enough for the leaves to soften.
Discard salad mix if the leaves are slimy, badly discolored, or have an unpleasant odor. A few limp leaves may simply have lost moisture, but slippery texture or a sour, rotten smell signals that the mix should not be eaten.
Salad mix can add volume and fiber to a meal, which may help you feel fuller, especially when paired with a source of protein. A bowl of leaves alone may not keep you satisfied for long, so add filling ingredients if needed.
