Escarole salad

Have you ever eaten the escarole?

Well, in Italy is pretty common in this season to eat escarole! There are several ways to eat escarole. You can eat raw escarole, in a salad, when the leaves are tender, sweet and light yellow. Many farmers tie the escarole heads with string when they are growing and are still in the ground to make them white-yellow and tender in the middle.
However, when the leaves of escarole are deep green, it is better to cook them, to reduce their bitter taste. The following is the simple method to make an escarole salad. Soon I will publish the recipe of the sauteed escarole!

 To make an healthy escarole salad:

Use only the white-yellow central leaves. Chop them and place into a bowl. Add a bunch of black olives and season with extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and vinegar. Serve immediately.
