Mesclun (recipes)


This is the name given to a mixture of salad greens. The term comes from the Provençal word for ' mixture' and refers to a mix of young field greens such as wild and cultivated chicory, lamb' s lettuce and dandelion leaves, but may also include rocket, chervil, purslane and oak leaf lettuce. The idea is to create a good balance of strong- and mild-flavoured greens.
