Common corn salad or Valerianella locusta is a popular salad green that is easy to grow and has a mild nutty flavor. This green is also known by some other names such as lamb's lettuce, mâche, field salad, and doucette. The name lamb's lettuce is derived from the fact that small young leaves of this plant resemble the shape of a lamb's tongue. Mâche, on the other hand, is a French name that has been embraced by many English-speaking countries. Field salad was given to this plant because it used to grow abundantly on fields. Lastly, doucette is a name commonly used in Belgium and other French-speaking regions. Whatever name you call it, common corn salad remains a delicious and nutritious addition to any salad mix.
