MâCHE AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH BEETS AND WALNUT VINAIGRETTE
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.

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a sprig of thyme on top of each beet, season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle each beet with 1/4 teaspoon olive oil. Wrap each individually in aluminum foil. Coat bottom of a small cast-iron skillet evenly with 1 cup salt. Place skillet in oven, and roast beets until tender enough to be pierced with a sharp knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool, and peel skin off beets by rubbing with a paper towel.

Remove haricots verts from pot with a strainer or slotted spoon, refresh in ice bath, and drain. Blanch leeks in same pot until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, and cool to room temperature. Cut leeks through the root end, to make eight quarters; set aside.
- Heat remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts; toast until fragrant. Season with salt.
- On individual plates, thinly slice 1 beet per plate with a mandoline. Season beets with salt and pepper. Arrange haricots verts and leeks on top of beets, then add mache.

MâCHE SALAD WITH YOGURT DRESSING
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.

Tips:
- Using the right ingredients can greatly affect the flavor of the salad. For the best taste, use fresh, high-quality beets and mache. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned or vacuum-packed beets, but they may not be as flavorful.
- To save time, you can grate the beets in a food processor or blender. However, if you grate them by hand, you'll get a more rustic texture.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the beets. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
- To make the dressing, you can use either red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar. If you use red wine vinegar, the dressing will have a slightly pink color. If you use white wine vinegar, the dressing will be clear.
- You can adjust the amount of dressing you use to taste. If you like a more tart dressing, add more vinegar. If you like a sweeter dressing, add more honey.
- The salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you chill the salad, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
This beet and mache salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh, seasonal produce. The beets provide a sweet and earthy flavor, while the mache adds a peppery bite. The dressing is light and tangy, and it perfectly complements the flavors of the salad. This recipe is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover beets.
