Mache, a delicate green with a mild, subtle flavor, packs quite a nutritional punch, as it is high in omega-3s (as are walnuts) and folic acid. The salad is simple to throw together, but its flavors are complex, with sweet juicy mandarin (or tangerine or clementine sections), crunchy bitter endive and walnuts, soft and almost sweet mache, and vibrant fresh herbs. The recipe will serve 4 to 6 but I admit to eating a good half of this salad when I tested it.

Cooking Notes

So good! We used toasted pistachios.

I used butter lettuce in place of Mache greens which are not available where I live. Delicious, light, refreshing salad.

No mache at the Supermarket, but a Spring mix works just fine. I will still make it with mache when I find some, but the light mix of flavors in this salad is just delicious. The dressing could go on any salad.

Excellent recipe and wonderful flavors. I added shaved pecorino and it complemented it really well!

So good! We used toasted pistachios.

Made with butter lettuce and baby spinach as I couldn’t find mache. Also added a bit more champagne vinegar as the dressing was a little too sweet/light for me. Turned out amazing, and was devoured by my family within minutes of serving.

Using the tarragon and mint together really takes it to the next level!

I love making salad and of course, dressing. I start with the greens, add maybe dried cherries. I always have Very thinly sliced red onion for bite, chopped orange slices for sweetness and color, maybe chopped walnuts( many calories ) .The dressing , Decent Olive oil, Good Dijon, sea salt, cracked pepper, a teaspoon of honey, a clove or two of minced garlic, and if feeling luxurious, A big dollop of mayo or an egg yolk. Whisk aggressively. Toss with home made croutons after the salad is dressed
