Escarole and endive salad

Here, escarole and endive pair up in a light, lemony salad. These slightly bitter, versatile greens are more familiar to cooks in Europe, where they are also sometimes served cooked. Both endive and escarole are in the chicory family, so they have parallel flavors, if varying textures. When using escarole in salads, opt for the tender, less bitter inner leaves. This is a salad that is long on flavor, so it's great paired with homey broiled fish or roasted chicken. Feel free to add more garlic to the dressing if you prefer, and thin it with water, as needed.
