Baby arugula and spinach mix.
Think about baby bok Choi or other cabbages

You might like red leaf or green leaf lettuce. Look for it sold in heads in grocery stores. Much milder and less crunchy than romaine, but strong enough to chop with a sharp knife.

I also always chop it into fairly small pieces, smaller than bite size, so it needs to be able to handle that.
I'm thinking butter lettuce, although that is a bit of a hassle since it has limited fridge life. I don't mind some arugula, although the flavor can be a bit off for some salads I like.
I have access to lots of both ethnic and upscale grocery stores. I'm OK spending $$, bug I don't like to waste food.
Are there any other greens I should try?
You can buy butter lettuce with the roots/dirt attached and it lasts awhile.
I always cut the rib out of romaine, kale, chard etc. It doesn’t taste good and has a terrible mouthfeel. I feel like the rib is meant to be taken out but it’s a bit time consuming. Anyway try taking the rib out of romaine and see if you like it better.
Also green leaf lettuce is tasty on a sandwich and doesn’t have much of the rib.

I've gotten butter lettuce at the farmers market with a little bit of root attached. I put them in a glass of water in the fridge with a plastic bag over the top and they last a very long time. Go early in the day before it's hot.
But just experiment with buying different types of baby greens. If you're not sure if you'll like something, the salad greens bags at trader Joe's are very small.
