Mâche, Frisée, and Radish Salad with Mustard VinaigretteDitte Isager

Veal in Switzerland often presupposes sauerkraut, but we prefer a lighter take. With crunchy radishes and bitter frisée, this salad brings its vinegar note in the form of a spicy mustard dressing.

Cooks' notes:

·If the mâche you buy has plugs attached, you'll need 3 ounces before trimming; if you're buying loose leaves, you'll need 1 1/2 ounces.
·Greens can be washed and dried 1 day ahead, then chilled in sealed plastic bags lined with dampened paper towels.
·Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
