This crisp escarole salad is a sophisticated vegetarian side dish that celebrates texture and subtle, bitter notes. By soaking the escarole leaves in cool water, you achieve a refreshing crunch that perfectly complements the earthy, nut-like flavour of thinly sliced sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes. The addition of toasted almonds and a sharp lemon vinaigrette elevates the dish, making it a vibrant choice for a seasonal lunch or an elegant dinner party accompaniment.
Packed with healthy fats and mineral-rich greens, this homemade salad is as nourishing as it is delicious. The use of traditional savoury Italian cheeses provides a creamy finish that balances the citrus dressing beautifully. Serve this salad alongside crusty sourdough bread or as a light contrast to a rich pasta dish for a well-rounded and wholesome meal.
