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 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.

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.

If you don't have Creole seasoning, you can substitute a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Use a variety of greens for your salad, such as romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach.
Add other vegetables to your salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
For a healthier version of the Creole vinaigrette, use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
Serve the salad immediately after dressing it to prevent the greens from wilting.
