corn salad
Small leafy green
Corn salad is a small leafy plant with mild, slightly nutty flavor, eaten raw in salads.
Also called mâche or lamb's lettuce.
The name has nothing to do with corn—it refers to the plant's habit of growing wild in grain fields: a simple salad of corn salad dressed with lemon and olive oil.
