The Cure for Your Winter Salad Woes: Insalata Tricolore

In the summer, salads are a no-brainer. You have amazing tomatoes for Caprese, you can throw berries or peaches or nectarines together with some arugula, the salads almost make themselves. But as we roll into the winter, I start looking blankly into my vegetable drawer. If only I'd planned ahead, maybe some roasted beets. Apple and celery? Raw lacinato kale salad...but we had that twice this week already. You've been there, right? So what to do? Insalata tricolore...the salad of three colors.

Escarole with Red Wine Vinaigrette

Escarole is one of those greens you don't give much thought to until it turns up at the farmers market or in your CSA box. We're so used to the dark leafy greens -- kale, chard, collards, mustard greens -- I couldn't tell you when I last had escarole. And then it showed up in our CSA box last week -- in June! Related to endive, the season usually runs December through April-ish, and with its broader leafy leaves and just a hint of bitterness, it's perfect for a simple salad with red wine vinaigrette.
