Loved this!! I used a mix of mostly red and green swiss chard with some escarole since living in Texas I have not been able to find escarole as much as I did when I lived in California. Not sure where the 'wilting' comes from since even though the dressing was hot it did not wilt the greens much. It was a wonderful salad side and the pomegranate with cheese shavings was a yummy compliment.

I used just escarole and this was so yummy. It pairs wonderfully with a savory main such as beef wellingtons or pot pies. I also tossed the escarole into a sate pan for a few minutes to help with the wilting proccess.

I, like other reviewers, made this with mixed greens, instead of the winter greens - I was really afraid that the texture and bitterness wouldn't be so great...But let me tell you, the dressing is DELICIOUS! And the toasted nuts and pomegranate seeds and parm were perfect. I do think you could do a mild blue cheese too. So....my grocery store used to carry just the pom seeds, which was so easy, but no more. So, I had to buy a pom and figure it out! I went online and googled how to extract the seeds and thank goodness I did- there's a little method to it, so please read how to do it before you start, because it can be messy. (I soaked the halves in cold water, scored, for like 5 or 10 minutes.
