· MACHE This tender, delicate green can be combined with radicchio, endive, bibb lettuce, beets and celery.

Dressings Champagne or white balsamic vinaigrette.

· MIXED BABY GREENS You can find the most interesting, flavorful mixtures at farmers markets. Top mesclun salads with toasted nuts or seeds and your favorite cheese.

Dressings All types of salad dressings, especially the sweeter, lighter ones such as balsamic or raspberry vinaigrette.

· MICRO-GREENS Like sprouts, but less crunchy and more tender, micro-greens (baby arugula, mustard greens, cilantro, mizuna, fennel, kale, etc.) provide a textural and visually pleasant element to any number of dishes.

Dressings All types except heavier ones, such as blue cheese, that would overwhelm these tender greens.

· ROMAINE LETTUCE The sturdy leaves work well with many vegetables: radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados and red onions.

Dressings Bolder types such as blue cheese, Greek or Italian herb dressings, Green Goddess or Caesar.
