Mâche and Mango Salad

Mâche has a deserved and wide popularity. Americans in the 18th and early 19th centuries knew it as “corn salad.” Why it later disappeared from American salads is a small mystery. It has now reemerged on American supermarket shelves, sold to the public as something new from Europe under its French name “mâche.” By any name, this little leaf is easy to appreciate both for its fresh flavour and nutritious value.
