We are fortunate to live a few blocks away from 2Amys, a popular Neapolitan pizzeria in our Northwest DC neighborhood. While the pizza alone is worth the trip, I go for the other parts of the menu – particularly the seasonal starters and their amazing house-made charcuterie. The one menu staple that I will always get is their escarole heart salad, which might hold the title of My Favorite Salad Ever. It is simple, refreshing yet hardy, and layered with flavor.

<br />I’m at the tail end of the escarole in my garden and I couldn’t think of a better way to savor it than in my own riff on the 2Amys salad, complete with my Garlic Scape Croutons. (See the recipe for Garlic Scape Croutons on my page.) If you don’t want those croutons than substitute your own homemade croutons and be sure to add some garlic to the anchovy dressing.
