I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The tomatoes are sweet and juicy, the escarole is slightly bitter, and the parmesan cheese is salty and nutty. The dressing is also very good, with a nice balance of tang and sweetness.

I'm not a fan of escarole, so I substituted arugula in this salad. It was still delicious!

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I sometimes add grilled chicken or shrimp to the salad for a more protein-packed meal.
