A fresh and healthy winter salad wtih lamb's lettuce, Belgian endive, grapes, and goat cheese, dressed with a truffle mustard vinaigrette, which complements the flavours of the lettuce. This delicious salad is full of goodness, and makes a simple yet impressive starter.
Lamb's lettuce, also known as mache lettuce, or corn salad, has long spoon-shaped dark green leaves and a distinctive, tangy flavour. The interesting name comes from the lettuce's resemblance to the size and shape of a lamb's tongue.

- Up to 2 days ahead, shake all the dressing ingredients together in a jar. Season and chill.
- Slice the chicory in half diagonally so you get loose leaves and a solid stalk end. The leaves will be easy to separate, thinly slice the stalks, add the grapes, and lamb’s lettuce. Chill until needed.
- When ready to serve, top with sliced goat cheese and drizzle with prepared dressing.

This sounds wonderful Angie. I do love lambs lettuce, it's so artistic looking and just beautiful in your yummy salad.

Absolutely beautiful, Angie! I love the dressing ingredients, pickled peppercorns, rose peppercorns, truffle mustard? Wow, truly delicious!
Wow, Angie, this is one special salad that I would not want to miss. I don't know why I never heard of Lamb's lettuce...maybe we call this particular lettuce a different name. I love the interesting and most amazing dressing for the salad, as well! Have a wonderful Sunday, and a great week ahead! xo
mhmm truffel mustard... =)
I don't think so I have heard of lamb lettuce before. Do you know the German name for it Angie?
Maybe I have seen it or I know it under a different name.
What a festive salad and that dressing knocks it out of the ballpark. This is a must try for me!
A wonderful salad and tasty combination! Mmmhhh, I love endives, lamb's lettuce and goat cheese...
Cheers,

Angie love this salad!! look beautiful!
I love the combo of grapes and goat cheese! There's so many great flavors going on here. I didn't know that was how it got it's name - that's kind of strange.
This salad is almost too pretty to eat! Is lamb's lettuce the same as mache? It looks similar. Hard to find here but it is so good I pick it up whenever I can find it. Love the vinaigrette too! :)
Very beautiful shot and interesting recipe! I am more interested in tasting truffle mustard.
I have never come across lamb lettuce before. Interesting.
This salad looks perfect. Beautiful pic and presentation too. :)
Truffle mustard sounds amazing in the vinaigrette! This salad sounds like a great blend of flavors.

The lambs lettuce is so adorable and the dressing sounds wonderful. Another winning salad!
