Hepworth Farms Local Organic Escarole

Escarole's broad, slightly bitter outer leaves have the taste and crunch to stand up to sweet, tangy salad dressings. The pale inner leaves are great in any salad that calls for a warm dressing. The meaty outer leaves have fuller flavor. They're good for salads and excellent as soup greens, particularly in minestrone.
