Field salad, often referred to as mâche or lamb’s lettuce, is a leafy green originating from Europe, particularly popular in French cuisine. Known for its small, spoon-shaped leaves and mild, nutty flavor, field salad is typically enjoyed raw in salads or used as a delicate garnish. It pairs well with vinaigrettes, citrus, nuts, and soft cheeses. Nutritionally, it is a powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and omega-3 fatty acids. Its high fiber content supports digestion, while its low calorie count makes it ideal for weight management. Field salad is also admired for its antioxidants, which promote overall health and help combat inflammation. However, like many greens, it can absorb nitrates from the soil during cultivation, so sourcing organic options when possible is recommended. A versatile and nutritious choice, field salad enhances both flavor and health in a variety of dishes.
