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.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It's also a good source of protein, thanks to the chicken.

I'm not a huge fan of yogurt, but I really enjoyed the dressing on this salad. It was light and refreshing, and it didn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great make-ahead salad for potlucks or picnics.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped bacon and avocado, and it was delicious.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was perfect! It's easy to make ahead of time, and it travels well. The dressing is also really versatile - I used it on a different salad the next day and it was just as good.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I was excited to try this yogurt dressing. It was so light and refreshing, and it really let the flavors of the salad shine through.

This salad was a hit at my last party! I used a mix of romaine lettuce, baby spinach, and arugula, and the yogurt dressing was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.
