Hi all I知 looking for something different to lettuce something I can use in a salad to give it some oomf the misses loves it but I just find it a bit boring
Thanks all

What about rocket or watercress, radicchio,chicory(normally for forcing but you can use it straight of). Mixes of micro greens, cut & come again types, mizuna,spinach, chard, Pak Choi or any of the oriental greens

I'm with you, Notty1975. 

Grow mizuna and rocket for when I want a bit of pep, but I also like the less zingy salads so this year I'm mixing young spinach leaves in with some red veined sorrel.  Haven't tried it yet but I think it should be quite nice

You can add a lot of zing to salad with herbs.  Parsley, chives, garlic chives, mint, tarragon - any of the green soft ones really. 

Its easy to pick a few leaves to scatter or chop onto your portion of the salad and you only need a few pots of them dotted around to pick from.

How about growing pea shoots?

Just chuck a handful of dried peas on a wet tray, and get them to about 6" high.

Use the whole plant or cut and come again!

Thanks for all the suggestions should make the healthy living thing we are apparently going on a bit easier especially growing my own just have to find out what they taste like on my kebab now lol

Some mustard greens for a bit of heat? Or a spicy salad cut-and-come-again mix? Would be fab for a kebab. 😄
