Golden Corn Salad
This nutty-flavored fresh green is a great choice for winter salads.
By William Woys Weaver

Corn salads — also known as mâches — are unusual salad crops because they are very cold hardy and grow best during the fall and winter. Two features of golden corn salad elevate it above the common mâche now sold in many supermarkets: its intensely nutty flavor and its ornamental possibilities for edible landscaping. The nutty flavor suggests a hint of toasted peanuts or even tahini; some people detect a trace of walnuts or hazelnuts."
