I got a big ass escarole in my CSA box last Friday, so I looked in my trusty copy of Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone to see how best to tackle it.
If I had asparagus, fresh peas, and escarole, I would have added that.
If you use kale, add it about 15 minutes before you add the escarole as it takes longer to cook.
I love making this with a pasta alfredo side too…haven’t tried the salad and haven’t eaten escarole like this yet (to my knowledge) but I’m pumped to try it!
I may have eaten escarole a couple of times in my 65+ years in a mixed salad – good thing I guess.
