Blackberry Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie with Pineapple
Tangy and fruity, with a slightly earthy, nutty note from the lettuce and a medium body.
Lamb's lettuce, also known as corn salad or mâche, is a winter salad leaf with small, tender rosettes. It is milder than spinach and blends easily, which makes it well suited to smoothies. Pineapple adds sweetness and a lively acidity, and blackberries bring color, fiber and a pleasant tartness.
The combination works best in late summer when blackberries are in season, but frozen blackberries are a perfectly good choice the rest of the year and make the drink colder. Clean the lettuce well, as sand tends to collect at the root.
