1 head butterhead lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
4 cups bite-size pieces watercress, or arugula (about 1 bunch), tough stems removed
1 cup mâche, or mixed salad greens (see Ingredient Note)
Herb & Horseradish Dressing, (recipe follows)
4 ounces smoked trout fillet, skin removed
4 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed (optional)

Preparation

Gently toss lettuce, watercress (or arugula) and m&acirc;che (or mixed greens) in a large bowl. Toss with Herb & Horseradish Dressing to coat. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Flake 1 ounce trout over each salad and sprinkle with scallions and capers (if using).

Tips & Notes

Ingredient note: Mâche (“mosh”), also known as lamb's lettuce or corn salad, is a tangy green that resembles watercress. Popular in Europe, it is enjoyed in the first salads of spring. Look for it in specialty stores, large supermarkets and farmers' markets.
