Escarole Salad with Fennel and Radishes and a Dijon Mustard

Make this delicious salad as a an accompaniment to a meal, or enjoy on its own. Either way, you’ll love every bite.

Ingrediants

  • For the Salad:

  • 1 head escarole

  • 1 medium size fennel bulb with stalks, sliced thin (we used a mandolin slicer to get those nice paper thin slices)

  • 3 radishes, sliced thin (we used a mandolin slicer to get those nice paper thin slices)

  • salt and pepper

  • edible flower petals (optional)

  • fennel fronds (optional)

  • For the Salad Dressing:

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

  • ¾ cup olive oil

  • 1-2 small cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp honey

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    • Tip for washing lettuces and greens: place in a sink of cold water and mix around to loosen any dirt on the produce. Change the water and do this 2-3x depending on how dirty it is…sometimes 1x does the trick, too.
    • Tear escarole into bite size pieces and add to a large bowl. Add the sliced fennel and sliced radishes and toss with the salad dressing.
    • Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
    • Sprinkle with edible flower petals and fennel fronds from the stalks of the fennel and serve.
Add all ingredients in a jar and shake well to combine. This will keep in your refrigerator for 1 month.
