Mache is a more popular lettuce in Europe than it is in the United States. These sweet mild leaves were first foraged by French peasants until Andre Le Notre, King Louis XIV's gardener, decided mache was the new trendy salad. When Le Notre had a little down time from laying out Versailles, he was influencing the French Potager Garden. Maybe the Sun King liked a salad. <br /> <br />I like a salad too, and I often like one for a light dinner option. My Sun King inspired salad is healthy and diet worthy. With the addition of a little turkey sausage it becomes a more substantial meal with another layer of flavor. Give it a try, after all, it's fit for a King.
