Lamb's lettuce, also known as corn salad or mâche, has a distinctive, tangy, nutty flavour and soft texture. It is delicious in salads or soups. This beautiful winter green is packed with water and beta-caroten. It is best during the months of early summer through to autumn, but will grow well into early winter. Named after its resemblance in shape and size to lamb's tongue.

- Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Boil the eggs for 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool completely. Peel the eggs and cut in half.
- Peel and slice persimmons. Arrange lamb's lettuce and persimmon slices on serving plates. Top with sliced chicken, macadamia nuts, cranberries and egg halves.
- Place everything for the dressing in a jar and shake vigorously to emulsify the dressing. Drizzle over the salad, toss and serve immediately.

I love this salad ANgie, looks perfect and delicious !!
Such a lovely salad with its combination of flavors, colors, and textures. I love recipes with persimmon. I see them in the store and am never quite sure what to do with them!
Gosh, this is chock-full of flavor! Really delightful dish -- thanks.
I don't use persimmons enough but love how you have them in this perfectly delicious looking winter salad!
What a beautiful and delicious medley of flavors, Angie. I don't believe I've ever seen lamb's lettuce offered here but I like your suggestion of using spinach instead. After the excess of the holidays, I'm ready to dig in to some hearty salads.
This is very delicious as well as healthy.

What a lovely dinner salad! It's got everything that I love in a salad. Have never used Macadamia nuts or oil for a salad but it sounds quite tasty. Thanks for sharing Angie!
Angie, this is so fresh and flavorful. Would be a perfect lunch for me!
Looks so delicious and a healthy salad to enjoy! Happy weekend!
Your flavor combination sounds great -- I just noticed that a farm stand near us has mâche lettuce in winter, I think from a hoop house. It's probably finished by now as the weather is really cold.
