Salad can be sometimes be considered boring but make a great side dish to a meal or as a great secondary filling in a bageutte with some ham or chicken, this salad bag provides 200g of crispy red and green salad leaves for 79 pence
Appearance
The appearance of the salad bag is what you would expect for a bag of salad, nothing special, but for something like salad it does not matter much in my opinion, the bag has a clear see through plastic packaging around the bottom half of the bag and a red around the top half of the bag with the product name at the front along with the fact this salad is washed and ready to eat.

On the back of the packaging it advises you to store in the fridge once opened and consume within 24 hours, however if in date I have personally found the salad can still be fine, bright green and red even after 2-3 days of opening the bag.
Also on the back of the packaging is the ingredients which list the salad leaves inside each bag which are frisée, iceberg, escarole, radicchio and lambs lettuce, proportions of all leaves may vary depending on seasonal availability.
Product Test
The combination of frisée, iceberg, escarole, radicchio taste fresh and crisp, the lambs lettuce also tastes fresh however I am not sure if this soft delicate leaf deserves a place in this bag of crispy salad, i think more iceberg lettuce should be used instead.

FreshLeaf Crispy Mixed vs Florette Mixed
In each bag of Florette Mixed the same leaves are present minus escarole and lambs lettuce, usually I find however the Florette Mixed bags sometimes contains about 50% of frisée which I find kind of dry and slighty bitter if there is too much of frisée.

Usually Florette Mixed is £1.38 so FreshLeaf Crispy Mixed is almost half the price apart from when Florette is on offer, and for the same amount of salad in each bag which is 200g and with there also being more variety of leaves in each bag, FreshLeaf easily wins this contest as you get more value for money, more variety of leaves and the shelf life of the product I have found is usually very similar but sometimes Florette bags I find have a 1 or 2 days longer expiry date, but FreshLeaf still wins
Final Verdict
For 79p you get a great variety of 5 different types of salad leaves in a 200g bag that can be compared to Florette Mixed but at almost half the price, each bag contains crispy salad leaves usually in what looks like even proportions.

Ideal for a healthy snack or to put in sandwiches or bageutte so that sandwich or bageutte is not so dry and bland, I recommend this as an essential in every salad drawer in every fridge
