Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey
2 Meyer lemons, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
1 head escarole, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 head Treviso radicchio, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped Marcona almonds
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup torn fresh mint leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the honey. When the honey has melted, stir it together with the oil. Place the lemons, cut-side down, into the honey mixture; cook until the lemons look charred and the honey has caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lemons to a baking sheet and let cool. Set the skillet aside.
  • Juice the roasted lemons and add 1/4 cup of the juice to a bowl; whisk in the remaining 1 teaspoon honey and the mustard. Once combined, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until the dressing becomes emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the salad: Return the skillet to high heat. When hot, add the cherry tomatoes and season with salt. Cook until the caramelized honey coats the tomatoes and the tomatoes just begin to char, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Combine the escarole, Treviso, almonds, basil and mint in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing, and then gently fold in the charred tomatoes. Transfer the salad to the serving platter and, using a peeler, shave Parmesan over the top.

Provided by Marc Murphy

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cubed country bread (about 1-inch dice)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large or 2 small heads escarole
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 olive oil-packed anchovy fillets, chopped
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. (The croutons will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
  • For the escarole: Preheat a grill on medium heat.
  • Cut the escarole head in half, then wash and dry. Grill the escarole cut-side down to give it a little char, about 3 minutes. (Do not flip and cook the other side. We are looking for just some of the escarole to be charred.) Set aside and let cool.
  • For the warm anchovy vinaigrette: In a small saucepot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and anchovies and cook, stirring, until the shallots have softened and the anchovies fall apart and dissolve in the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until it has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil.
  • Cut the escarole into 1-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and croutons and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

ESCAROLE WITH WHITE BEANS



Escarole With White Beans image

I grew up eating this, not just as a side dish, but as a main meal. My grandmother would make a pot of it, and spoon some over a thick slab of Italian bread, which would absorb the juices. This is true comfort food to me! However, if that doesn't sound like a meal to you, you can always add 1 pound of Italian sausage. Reduce the olive oil to 1 T., and cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Then add the onions to the pan and continue from there.

SICILIAN ESCAROLE SALAD



Sicilian Escarole Salad image

This recipe won me $200 in the August 2005 Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I am sure you will love it too.

Provided by mkmac4

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large escarole (broad leaf type, head)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves (pressed or finely minced and crushed)
3 drops balsamic vinegar
1/3 teaspoon sea salt (adjust if using anchovies)
1 pinch black pepper
1/3 teaspoon basil leaves
1/3 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 (8 ounce) can black olives, medium sized or 1 (8 ounce) container oil cured Greek olives
1/3 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 large vidalia onions, sliced thinly or 1 large red onion
1 large English cucumber, quartered lengthwise, sliced into 1 in chunks
1 (4 ounce) can anchovies (optional)

Steps:

  • Add Wine vinegar to bottom of bowl.
  • Peel garlic, and using a garlic press, add garlic to vinegar and allow to sit at least 10 minutes. (Alternatively, if you don't have a garlic press, mince garlic finely and then sprinkle with salt and rub the side of your knife across it to crush garlic to a fine paste, then add to vinegar as above.) Stir pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes into vinegar. Add chopped onion, stir to mix together.
  • Wash and thoroughly dry the escarole and separate the leaves, tearing them into 1-2 inch pieces. Add to vinegar and garlic, chop the cucumber into one inch pieces and season with black pepper.
  • If using the optional anchovies, break them into sections and add to the olive oil. Otherwise, pour olive oil over salad, sprinkle with salt and mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Escarole salad can be easily varied to suit the ingredients that you have available, or what's seasonal at the market. But remember, it's best kept rather simple, with not too many ingredients.
  • This can be topped with Parmesan croutons or served with [bruschetta]. When in season, optionally add fresh ripe tomato slices and use chopped fresh basil and oregano. Another nice addition is roasted red peppers. Or add 2" X 1/2" slices of salami, mortadella or a sharp Italian cheese such as Asiago or Provolone. Or add a can of cannelloni beans (drained), or a can of Italian Tonno (tuna) packed in olive oil.
  • Note: When using anchovies, adjust salt, as anchovies can be very salty depending on how they're packed.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned or pre-cooked white beans.
  • If you don't have fresh escarole, you can use other leafy greens like kale, spinach, or arugula.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use roasted or grilled chicken or shrimp instead of canned tuna.
  • If you don't have lime juice, you can use lemon juice instead.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This escarole salad with white beans and lime vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with nutrients and flavor, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try.
