Mache (a.k.a. field salad, lamb's lettuce, corn salad, rapunzel) is one of the most versatile "alternative" salad greens available (less so in the NE of the US). Crusty French bread & an assortment of cheeses would complement this salad very well. Read more The provenance of the basic recipe stems from Trader Joe. I suggest doubling the juice ingredients in the vinaigrette to tone down the olive oil taste. Fresh, tender mache requires very little dressing & you may not need to use all the vinaigrette suggested in the recipe. See less
