Escarole
What Is It?
Escarole, a member of the endive family, has green leaves with a pale, yellowish-white heart with broader leaves than Chicory. It is also bigger, greener and milder than Belgian endive.

It is available all year long and has a very slightly bitter flavor that is also pleasant and mild and is best when served alone. Look for broad leaves with ruffled edges; when opened the head should reveal leaves that go from firm and dark green on the outside to tender and pale on the inside.
Preparation Tips
Clean by twisting off the bottom core and washing the leaves under cold running water. Discard bruised leaves. Dry with a towel or salad spinner. Store clean greens in a damp cloth towel or between damp paper towels. Place in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper. Use within a week.
