Mesclun recipes

This is the name given to a mixture of salad greens. The term comes from the Provencal 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.
