Bitter greens salad
The dressing for this salad is easy to make and helps cut down the bitterness of the greens.
I now know 2 frisee converts that can probably be ascribed to this excellent vinaigrette. They previously found frisee annoying but no longer. This is a wonderful winter salad.
Note: The salad greens are only about 10 calories per cup.
Servings: 4 to 6
