Fresh Express Winter GreensWhat makes the perfect winter salad? Fresh Express artisanal farmers believe it’s all about coaxing the fullest flavor out of seasonal greens. Distinctive winter varieties such as baby chard, mustard greens and wild rocket arugula are specially selected for their zesty flavor and heartiness.  Available for a limited time, Fresh Express Artisanal Salads introduces a new line of winter salad blends using these flavorful winter greens.

Try this festive salad from Fresh Express master salad blender Andrew McClelland.  The peppery flavor of the arugula pairs nicely with the richness of the cannellini beans and prosciutto, and the bell pepper adds a kick of bright freshness.  It will be a beautiful, delicious addition to your holiday table.
