Best Warm Escarole Salad With Goat Cheese Hard Boiled Eggs And Bacon Recipes

WARM ESCAROLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Quarter the escarole lengthwise through the stem end. Wash the escarole wedges under cold water, being sure to wash away any dirt or grit between the leaves. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of the oil, whisking constantly, until blended. Stir in the raisins.
• Arrange the escarole wedges, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Drizzle the wedges with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until the escarole is browned and charred in places on top but still raw underneath, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spoon the raisin vinaigrette over the warm escarole wedges; sprinkle with the almonds.
