MG, I love greens too, I should have been born in the South. I used fresh escarole and caugt it at the right time because it wasn't to bitter either. And I made some with the vinegar and some with lemon juice, I prefer them both :-) Thanks for an easy, delicious recipe.

Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
