Why Use Baby Greens?
They’re more tender, bite-sized, and require no massaging or any extra steps. Baby kale is a younger version of kale. It’s usually sold on its own or as a blend with other greens in a plastic tub.
Arugula is a leafy green with a peppery taste, also known as rocket. It’s delicate, tender, and pairs well with baby kale.

Tips for Making Kale Arugula Salad

If you can’t find shaved Parmesan at your supermarket, shave your own with a vegetable peeler. Just be sure to get good-quality Parmesan.
