Escarole Salad With White Beans And Lime Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. (The croutons will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• For the escarole: Preheat a grill on medium heat.
• Cut the escarole head in half, then wash and dry. Grill the escarole cut-side down to give it a little char, about 3 minutes. (Do not flip and cook the other side. We are looking for just some of the escarole to be charred.) Set aside and let cool.
• For the warm anchovy vinaigrette: In a small saucepot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and anchovies and cook, stirring, until the shallots have softened and the anchovies fall apart and dissolve in the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until it has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil.
• Cut the escarole into 1-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and croutons and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the honey. When the honey has melted, stir it together with the oil. Place the lemons, cut-side down, into the honey mixture; cook until the lemons look charred and the honey has caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lemons to a baking sheet and let cool. Set the skillet aside.
• Juice the roasted lemons and add 1/4 cup of the juice to a bowl; whisk in the remaining 1 teaspoon honey and the mustard. Once combined, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until the dressing becomes emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the salad: Return the skillet to high heat. When hot, add the cherry tomatoes and season with salt. Cook until the caramelized honey coats the tomatoes and the tomatoes just begin to char, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Combine the escarole, Treviso, almonds, basil and mint in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing, and then gently fold in the charred tomatoes. Transfer the salad to the serving platter and, using a peeler, shave Parmesan over the top.

• To make the dressing, whisk together the garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• To make the shrimp, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and shake pan until seeds are toasted, about 20 seconds. Place in a bowl. Place cumin seeds in the skillet and toast for about 15 seconds. Place in a spice grinder and pulse until cracked but not ground. Stir together sesame and cumin seeds and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Preheat broiler. Spray a baking sheet with the olive oil. One at a time, dip the shrimp into the egg whites and then coat with the sesame seed mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Broil the shrimp until cooked through and nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Season with additional salt and squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp.
• Place the warm beans in a large bowl. Stir in the chili and toss with the vinaigrette. Season with additional salt if needed. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top with shrimp. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
