Mesclun is a delightful medley of tender young salad greens, often including arugula, mizuna, mache, and frisée. Its vibrant colors and peppery flavors make it a refreshing and visually appealing addition to any meal. When paired with a creamy lemon vinaigrette, the mesclun salad transforms into a culinary masterpiece. The zesty lemon juice, smooth creaminess, and subtle tang of the vinaigrette perfectly complement the delicate greens, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.

CREAMY LEMON DRESSING
This tangy lemony dressing makes a creamy addition to salads or is great drizzled over grilled fish. Try it over a butter lettuce, grape tomatoes, and English cucumber salad. Try substituting plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
