2 large carrots
1 large fennel bulb
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Baby mache (any mild green will do)

Using a peeler, remove the skin from the carrots and discard, then continue to peel the carrots until you are left with a pile of long thin slices. Cut the fennel bulb in half and remove the core from the inside. Shave the fennel as thinly as possible. In a separate bowl, mix together the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Dress the fennel and carrots with some of the vinaigrette and add the mache last.

MACHE AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH CLEMENTINES AND WALNUTS

Mache and Endive Salad With Clementines and Walnuts image

Mache, a delicate green with a mild, subtle flavor, packs quite a nutritional punch, as it is high in omega-3s (as are walnuts) and folic acid. The salad is simple to throw together, but its flavors are complex, with sweet juicy mandarin (or tangerine or clementine sections), crunchy bitter endive and walnuts, soft and almost sweet mache, and vibrant fresh herbs. The recipe will serve 4 to 6 but I admit to eating a good half of this salad when I tested it.

CUCUMBER-AND-MâCHE SALAD

Cucumber-and-Mâche Salad image

This delicate salad, from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi, is redolent with spring flavors. Do not dress it until just before it reaches the table, and if mâche is not available, try purslane.

MâCHE SALAD WITH YOGURT DRESSING

Mâche Salad With Yogurt Dressing image

Mâche is a delicate green also known as lamb's lettuce, and it's now available in many Whole Foods stores and other supermarkets in the United States. It has a rich nutritional profile: It is very high in vitamin C, beta carotene, omega-3s and iron (it has even more than spinach). I love the contrast here between the mild, subtle mâche and the sharp, pungent garlic-spiked yogurt.

MACHE WITH WARM BRIE AND APPLES

Mache with Warm Brie and Apples image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 French baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick diagonally
12 ounces good French Brie, cut into 4 wedges
6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons roasted and salted pistachios
4 ounces mache leaves (8 to 10 ounces with roots attached)
1 tablespoon syrupy aged balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the sliced bread on a sheet pan and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until crisp.
Arrange the 4 wedges of Brie snugly in one layer in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Drizzle the honey over the wedges and then scatter the pistachios over the top. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the ripeness of the Brie) until the Brie just begins to ooze but isn't melted. Be careful-it happens fast!
Place the mache in a large bowl and toss it gently with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among 4 large salad plates and place a piece of the warm Brie with the pistachios in the center of each plate. Place a quarter of the apple slices on each plate fanned out on one side of the Brie. Place 2 or 3 slices of toasted baguette on the other side of the Brie and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the honey still in the baking dish and serve immediately.
