Escarole and Edamame Salad

From the kitchen of Carly

Tender escarole gets bright and peppery with fresh mint, while buttery edamame add protein and substance. A simple vinaigrette and sharp Parmigiano tie everything together into something that feels light but satisfying.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 12 cups frozen shelled edamame (soybeans; 9 ounces)
  • 11 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 11/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 13/4 teaspoon salt
  • 11/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 13 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 11 1/2 pounds escarole, trimmed and cut crosswise into very thin strips (8 cups)
  • 11/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 11 3/4 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2/3 cup)

Instructions

  1. Cook edamame in a 3-quart pot of boiling salted water 5 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain edamame again and pat dry.

  2. Whisk together vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined.

  3. Toss together edamame, escarole, and mint in a large bowl. Add cheese and drizzle salad with dressing, then toss again. Serve immediately.
