Ingredients

• 2 heads escarole, tough outer green leaves removed, remaining leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
• 5 sunchokes, scrubbed and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted and ground or finely chopped
• 1/2 cup coarsely grated Tuscan caciotta or cacio di Roma
• 6 tablespoons Lemon Vinaigrette
• Maldon or other flaky salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Soak the escarole in a bowl of cool water for 10 minutes to crisp it. Drain and spin dry.
