Best Mâche Salad With Chiffonade Of Beet And Radish Recipes

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.

MâCHE AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH BEETS AND WALNUT VINAIGRETTE

Mâche and Radicchio Salad With Beets and Walnut Vinaigrette image

Of all the greens I worked with this week, mâche has the sweetest, mildest flavor. It goes nicely with the bitter radicchio, sweet beets and the nutty vinaigrette. Mâche is so delicate that it takes very little dressing.
