Best Escarole Spinach And Red Onion Salad With Anchovy Garlic Dressing Recipes

ESCAROLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large wooden salad bowl, mash the anchovies with a fork until they form a paste. Whisk in mustard and vinegar. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to create an emulsion.

ESCAROLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. (The croutons will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• For the escarole: Preheat a grill on medium heat.
• Cut the escarole head in half, then wash and dry. Grill the escarole cut-side down to give it a little char, about 3 minutes. (Do not flip and cook the other side. We are looking for just some of the escarole to be charred.) Set aside and let cool.
• For the warm anchovy vinaigrette: In a small saucepot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and anchovies and cook, stirring, until the shallots have softened and the anchovies fall apart and dissolve in the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until it has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil.
• Cut the escarole into 1-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and croutons and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Prepare the salad: Put the eggs in a saucepan; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook 8 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water with a slotted spoon, then drain, peel and roughly chop.
• Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes and fry, turning with a slotted spoon, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the croutons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Discard the outer layer of leaves from the escarole. Separate the remaining leaves and coarsely chop. Toss with the croutons in a large bowl.
• Make the dressing: Put the lemon juice, orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, garlic and anchovies in a small covered container; shake well. Toss with the salad. Divide among plates, top with the hard-boiled eggs and season with salt and pepper.
