Tangy and light, with a mild nutty green note and bright lemon and pomegranate acidity.
Lamb's lettuce, also called corn salad, is a winter salad that is mild enough to blend without any bitterness. It contributes colour and, like most leafy greens, some vitamin C and folate. Pomegranate seeds add fruity tartness, while lemon juice sharpens the whole drink.
The original recipe used a lot of lemon; this version keeps half a lemon per glass so it stays pleasant, with a little honey as an option. A clean, tangy glass for a light lunch.
It is tangy; the honey or a piece of pear balances it.
Yes, baby spinach works the same way and tastes similarly mild.
Without honey, or with maple syrup instead, yes.
