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 is sold in different ways - sometimes it comes in a package with soil plugs attached and sometimes you can find it loose, like mesclun. If you're buying it with plugs attached, you'll need 1 1/2 pounds; if you're buying it loose, you'll need 5 ounces.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-grown produce.
  • Choose the right greens: There are many different types of greens that can be used in a salad, so choose ones that you enjoy eating. Some popular options include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
  • Add variety: Don't just stick to one type of vegetable or fruit in your salad. Add a variety of colors, textures, and flavors to make it more interesting. Some good additions include tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, apples, and nuts.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings a salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that you enjoy and that complements the flavors of the salad. Some popular dressing options include vinaigrette, ranch, and Caesar.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the salad soggy and oily.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and salad separately and combine them just before serving.
