Step 1
Wash the escarole thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to dry.

Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, Champagne vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the vinaigrette is emulsified and smooth.
Step 4
Drizzle the Champagne vinaigrette over the escarole and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the toasted almonds, shaved Parmesan cheese, and dried cranberries over the salad for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Serve immediately as a light and flavorful starter or side dish.
