Lamb’s Lettuce, (Feldsalat auf Deutsch), also sometimes called field or corn salad, has a slightly nutty, tangy flavor. (My husband can't stand it because it's too green;) The name 'lamb's lettuce' appears to stem from the fact that it tastes best during lambing season, and some people also call it 'lamb's tongue', because the leaves resemble small tongues.
Like many zesty-flavored foraged greens, lamb's lettuce has a high nutritional value. It typically provides several vital minerals and nutrients, including vitamins C, E, and B9, along with beta carotene and essential fatty acids. Commercially cultivated lamb's lettuce may not be as nutritionally rich, depending on farming practices, but it is generally more beneficial than conventional lettuce.

- Peel and pit the mango, cutting the flesh into 5mm cubes. Place the mango cubes in a large salad bowl. Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad bowl with the lamb’s lettuce, and onion.
- To make the dressing, in a clean jar, combine the oils and vinegar. Add the parsley, garlic, shallot, honey, salt and pepper. Close the lid and shake furiously until well combined. Pour just enough dressing over the salad to moisten it, then toss to coat evenly. Garnish with the avocado slices and serve.

This looks sooooo good! LUV all the wonderful flavors in this. The salad dressing sounds perfect!! Am copying and saving this gem.
This is a wonderful delicate lettuce and served with avocado and mango would really bring the flavor of this salad up a notch. I know it's almost Winter but, this would be a perfect summer salad here in Florida. Avocados and mangoes grow abundantly in South Florida.
Angie, this looks so good and healthy--YUMMMO. At first, I thought it contained meat but I'm sooo happy to know that it is pure vegan. The combination of all the ingredients sounds sooo wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Definitely saving this for a dinner.

What a great salad! We use lamb's lettuce a lot in Lebanese cuisine especially in fattoosh and I love the idea of combining it with mango and avocado.

Love mangoes and avocadoes together.
