Escarole Salad Amongst Turkey & Garlic Rubbed Croutons


Ingredients:
1 medium caput escarole, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 cups diced cooked turkey breast
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 cups large-cubed French bread
1 large clove garlic, halved


dressing:
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
bounding main salt
freshly set down dark pepper

Directions:
Heat a few tablespoons of olive stone oil inwards a large nonstick skillet. Add the breadstuff together with saute until browned on all sides. Remove the breadstuff cubes to a paper-towel lined plate. Allow to cool slightly together with therefore rub the cutting side of the garlic clove on the cubes. Set aside.

Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Toss amongst the escarole inwards a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients together with toss again. Divide into 2 bowls together with serve immediately.


Notes:
I used 1 leftover demi baguette for the croutons.
Escarole tin hold upwardly variety of sandy therefore accept attention to rinse thoroughly together with exercise a salad spinner.
I sliced my egg amongst an egg slicer together with therefore rotated the egg together with sliced it 1 time again to shape uniform strips.
Keep an optic on those breadstuff cubes! Using the pan is easier than baking them (I think) but they tin become from golden to brunt quickly.
My thoughts:
Another Thanksgiving, about other laid of leftovers recipes! I've already posted 2 this twelvemonth but I made a couplet to a greater extent than that I really wanted to share. This salad was too delish non to add together to the list. It is a non bad means to exercise upwardly about odds together with ends you lot mightiness cause got from other parts of the meal; eggs, turkey together with breadstuff inwards a means that tastes cipher similar Thanksgiving.  

Escarole is a awesome choice to lettuce during the colder months, it is amount flavored but non bitter together with really at its peak inwards correct now. The dressing was mayhap my almost favorite dressing to date. It was the Definition of umami; non also pungent but amount flavored, intensely savory (but non fishy) together with thick plenty it coated every leaf. The croutons were crunchy but non brittle thank you lot to the skillet technique together with had only the tiniest kiss of garlic that really contributed a lot to the season of the salad. Every seize amongst teeth was only lovely. I'm non the biggest "salad equally a meal" fan but I was really distressing to gain the bottom of my (giant) bowl amongst this one. I can't human face to larn inwards again!
