1 lemon, scrubbed
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large head escarole, separated and torn into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup mild, buttery olives, such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola, pitted and sliced

Overall, this is a good salad. I would make a few changes to the dressing, but otherwise it's a solid recipe.

This salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll use less olive oil in the dressing next time.

The escarole was a bit tough. I think I'll blanch it next time before adding it to the salad.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more lemon juice and garlic to the dressing next time.

I found the anchovy dressing to be a bit too salty. I think I'll use less anchovy paste next time.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of sugar to the dressing next time.
