MESCLUN SALAD

Mesclun comes from the Provencal mesclumo ("a mixture") and means a selection of wild and cultivated baby greens. The best mesclun will come from your own garden, but mesclun ready to eat is often sold in markets around the country, its content changing with the seasons.

WINTER SPRING MIX SALAD (MESCLUN)



Winter Spring Mix Salad (Mesclun) image

I came up with this recipe when I wanted a healthy and warm dish with a different texture and taste other than spinach. It has a very simple taste to it, but the ingredients and flavors all meld together nicely. I used all organic ingredients; including the chicken (but you could omit the chicken or even substitute shrimp and add pine nuts). It has a very good taste and is a nice change from ordinary spinach and chicken dishes.

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup very good light olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 chicken breasts, sliced thin and then cut up
1 (8 ounce) bag of mescalune salad greens
1 cup feta cheese (fresh motzerella or goat cheese would also work well)
1/2 cup soft sun-dried tomato, chopped

Steps:

  • heat olive oil and garlic in large sauce or frying pan until garlic is golden; not dark brown.
  • add chicken and cover; cook on medium-low until chicken is cooked through but not dry (about 20 min).
  • wash mesclun mix well (unless you have bought prewashed) and add mesclun mix and sundried tomatoes and cover; cooking on low for about 10 minutes, keeping an eye to be sure greens don't get wilty.
  • they will be done when they are soft but not wilted (you really just want them warmed).
  • toss in cheese and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • serve alone or over a bed of linguine.
