Peach and Escarole Salad image

One trick with escarole is to make sure you are using a sweet enough dressing to offset the bitterness. I accomplished that with a dressing of sherry and rice vinegar, and then, just to hedge my bets, I added some perfectly ripe peaches to the mix. The result was one of the best salads I've had in years.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very filling.

The salad was difficult to make. The instructions were not clear and I had to guess at some of the steps.

The salad was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I found the escarole to be a bit too bitter. I would recommend using a milder green, such as romaine lettuce.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of escarole, but I really enjoyed this salad. The peaches and walnuts helped to balance out the bitterness of the escarole.

This salad is a great way to use up summer peaches. I also added some grilled chicken to make it a more substantial meal.
