Bitter greens and chicories lettuces

Lechugas verdes y chicories amargas in Spanish

These greens have a slightly bitter flavor that is offset by their crisp texture. They pair well with other bitter greens, such as arugula, endive, and radicchio. They can also be paired with sweet fruits, such as oranges, to balance out the flavors. Bitter greens and chicories also pair well with salty cheeses, such as Parmesan, and with fatty meats, such as bacon.
