Zach's Escarole Salad

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.

Ingredients for Zach's Escarole Salad

  • 2 heads escarole, tough outer green leaves removed, remaining leaves torn into bite-sized pieces

  • 5 sunchokes, scrubbed and thinly sliced

  • 70g blanched whole almonds, toasted and ground or finely chopped

  • 80g coarsely grated Tuscan caciotta or cacio di Roma

  • 6 tablespoons Lemon Vinaigrette

  • Maldon or other flaky salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Soak the escarole in a bowl of cool water for 10 minutes to crisp it. Drain and spin dry.

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and serve with the remaining vinaigrette on the side.
